Aspirin

yes aspirin mask is reasonable for treatment of Acne. Clarification: Why does it work? I know that the active ingredient in aspirin is salicylic acid. I know further that the same is the active ingredient in many anti-acne creams (such as that of Clearasil, Nutragena, etc.). So intiutively, it seems an aspirin mask should help. However, I also know that salicylic acid is very non-soluble. So creating a paste of aspirin powder and water should create something that leaves the salicylic acid mostly non-available to the skin, i.e., not dissolved in the water. So why should it work well? Perhaps other ingredients are needed to make the active ingredient more bio-available? Anyone have concrete information about this? Further Clarification: The active ingredient in aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid. In the presence of water at a neutral pH, this compound will hydrolyze to salicylic acid and acetic acid to a very small extent. It is likely that aspirin masks are only safe because this hydrolysis is very minimal in water of a neutral pH.

It is precisely because salicylic acid is lipid-soluble that it is so effective treating acne at very low concentrations. The acid is able to dissolve in the sebum and penetrate into pores to exert its exfoliating effects.

On the back of the container there will be directions on how to take the medicine. If you take more than the directions imply, that would be an overdose. ----

The active ingredient in aspirin is acetyl salicylic acid. It was first discovered in willow bark by an Oxford scientist in 1763.

Aspirin is the trade name for acetylsalicylic acid. In a solution of sodium hydroxide the acid will be convereted to its sodium salt which is soluble. It could be recovered from the solution by adding acid to neutralise the sodium hydroxide and regenerate the free acid form which would again be mostly insoluble. In plain water the aspirin is unchanged and remains largely insoluble, only 1g dissolves in 100g of water at 37'C.

No

You should seek medical attention right away if you have given your child Aspirin when they have chicken pox. When Aspirin is given to a child with chicken pox, it can cause them to get a condition called Reyes syndrome.

In 1899 Felix Hoffmann rediscovered aspirin and marketed it.

Aspirin--even children's aspirin--should never be given to children or teenagers with flu-like symptoms or chickenpox. Aspirin can cause Reye's syndrome, a life-threatening condition that affects the nervous system and liver.

It depends what you are taking it for. Ibuprofen (advil) is an anti-inflammatory which will help with headache pain, muscular pain, joint pain, pain from an injury or surgery (where there is swelling), it is the best OTC all around painkiller. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) works in a different way, and will not help pain from swelling so much, which is where the majority of our pain comes from, it is better for nerve pain.

yes aspirin is technically a blood thinner and Tylenol is acetaminopen a non steroid anti inflammatory drug (nsaid) they can be taken be taken together but of note make sure you don't take more than 6 grams of Tylenol in one day or 4 grams over a perod of days... cause you'll kill oyur liver. new FDA standard just came out.

Apparently so, as it is combined in the following product: Alka Seltzer Plus Night Time Effervescent (aspirin/diphenhydramine/phenylpropanolamine) source: http://www.emedicinehealth.com/drug-aspirindiphenhydraminephenylpropanolamine/article_em.htm

Aspirin reduces the stickiness of platelets. This helps to prevent a thrombus from forming and reduces the risk of having a heart attack or stroke. When aspirin is used in this way, it is often referred to as 'low-dose' aspirin. Low-dose aspirin is particularly useful for people with heart or blood vessel disease.

Yes. Take at least one whole bottle of aspirin... Roughly 40, it helps flush all toxins out of your system.

It is recommended you don't because it can increase the side effects from the nitroglycerin. However I am not a doctor always consult your doctor/physician first!

Salicylic acid has a pKa of 1.96 and acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin) has a pKa of 3.48. Therefore salicylic acid is the stronger acid.

Yes because there is a filler in commercial aspirin

I am going to assume that you are taking Aciphex because of an ulcer. Biaxin is a generic antibiotic for Clarithromycin. Sometimes antibiotics are given in conjunction with ulcer medication. So yes you can take them both. Remember to follow your doctor's advice. Take all of the antibiotics as prescribed. People sometimes stop taking antibiotics because they feel better. Don't do this. Take them all as prescribed. The reason for prescribing an ulcer med with an antibiotic is because sometimes ulcer are caused by a bacterium. The ulcer med reduces stomach acid which will alleviate symptoms and the antibiotic will kill off the bacteria. So take them both as prescribed. If this does not help with your ulcer problem you might want to check with your doctor about a triple antibiotic therapy.

I have taken coke and then taken muscle relaxer to help sleep after getting home. But you should not do it since it is very bad for your heart.

ANY time a child or baby consumes something that could endanger their health, call 911 immediately. DO NOT get online and wait for a question to be answered that may not be answered for weeks!

No, from the bark of Willow trees. The correct name of Aspirin is Acetyl Salicidic Acid the correct name of the Willow is Salix.

Yes and No. . .

The "Yes" part:

They are both Non-Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs (NSAID), but the 81 mg aspirin ("low dose") is typically given to help prevent heart attack and/or stroke. Because 81mg is significantly below the recommended dose for pain relief from aspirin, you can take ibuprofen the same day. However, you want to be careful not to take ibuprofen too often and not to take it in larger than recommended doses. It can cause gastrointestinal problems (stomach ulcers, etc.) and occasionally can cause some liver problems if taken repeatedly and at high doses.

The "No" part:

If a person is taking 81mg aspirin to prevent heart attacks, etc., ibuprofen could potentially lessen the anti-clotting effect of aspirin. It is wise not to take ibuprofen with aspirin if the aspirin is being taken for an anti-coagulation purpose.

Conclusion: You can take ibuprofen with 81mg aspirin, but do not do it often or for an extended amount of time.

*Note: If you took a pain-relief dose of aspirin, such as 325 mg, you would not want to take ibuprofen unless directed to by your practitioner.

ALSO: Make sure to verify with your doctor it is alright to take ibuprofen if you are on other medications. If a person is taking other medications that significantly affect the liver/kidneys or gastrointestinal tract, ibuprofen may not be recommended.

The other option is called an "enema". Take your pick!
