What is the mass in grams of a 250 mg aspirin?
All you have to do is move the decimal. 1000mg = 1g, therefore 250mg 0.250g
Why is there cotton on the top of aspirin bottoles?
cause my black folks was cotton pickers before they were drug dealers hahahaha
Aspirin (acetlysalicylic acid) is an irreversible inhibitor of the cyclo-oxygenase (COX-I and COX-II) enzymes which are responsible for the conversion of arachidonic acid into the prostaglandins. It is supposed that this happens due to the acetylation effects of aspirin.
How do you know if aspirin has begun to hydrolyze?
burn it. If it smells lke vinegar, its in the process of hydrolyzing.
There is no aspirin in opium, and there is no opium in aspirin. Opiates and opioids act by blocking pain receptors in the central nervous system and do not contain any NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which include aspirin and ibuprofen). Aspirin and other non-narcotic drugs do not act on the central nervous system. Instead, they help relieve pain by reducing swelling/inflammation, hindering pain chemicals (prostaglandins), and bringing down fevers. It is worth noting that a combination of aspirin and opium works better to relieve pain than giving these two medicines separately.
How much aspirin can be taken in twenty four hours?
Adult dosages of 325mg to 1000mg three or four times a day are not too uncommon, with a maximum daily dose set at 8g. Note that the max daily dose may be problematical if taken chronically.
Doses for cardiac care are traditionally lots lower. Also, "quick acting aspirin" (it dissolves in the mouth) is dosed differently.
Can you take aspirin and alprazolam together?
Hi, actually i was wondering the same thing and found your question. I just called a pharmacist from London drugs and they said short term and low dose is ok.
Can you take Aleve and Aspirin 6 hours apart?
You should wait at least 6 hours after naproxen if you want to take ibuprofen or any other anti-inflammatory drug... The mechanism of action is the same... you won't get any additional benefit by taking ibuprofen before that 6 hours. You'll only have more side effects.
Can I give my dog ibuprofen for pain?
no. its very toxic to dogs.
Ibuprofen can be toxic if not dosed properly. It also should not be used in place of vet evaluation.
The usual dose in dogs is 2.5 to 4 mg per pound (5 to 8 mg/kg) every 12 hours.
You can also give your dog aspirin. (enteric coated should not be used because it will not be digested.
A typical aspirin dose is 5 to 10 mg per pound (10 to 20 mg/kg) twice daily for dogs, and 5 mg per pound (10 mg/kg) once every other day for cats.
Dosage info from PetPlace
no do not give Tylenol or ibprofen to dogs
What will happen if you take 8 aspirin pills?
I have 8 also, so we can just both take 8 and write what happens if we don't die. Unless of course you have already died, then I guess we'll just have a laugh about the whole thing up in heaven when I die from my 8. Either way, I'm down.

Nothing happened to me that much, Just a little head change. Then the stomach pain. Shouldn't kill you though. It is just a waste of pills
Is aspirin harmful to pregnant women?
No. Nor is other pain killers, but you can take tylenol. You should only take aspirin under the doctor's advice. Aspirin is an anti coagulant thus it is dangerous when you are pregnant. If you have Hugh's syndrome or forms of Lupus doctors may prescribe it for you until the 35th week. If you have a chronic condition with the coagulation of the blood, you might even be prescribed heparin. However, you should always seek doctor's advice before taking any type of medication during and not during pregnancy. Stay away from aspirin. When baby comes, keep baby away from aspirin because of Rye's Syndrome. The best thing to do is to always ask a doctor.
Can you take aspirin and tylenol 3 together?
You should not mix Acetaminophen (Tylenol) and Acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin). The reason for this is long term renal (kidney) damage. What happens in the Tylenol induces the formation of free oxide radicals which damage tissues (especially the kidneys and liver). This is normally not an issue at low Tylenol doses.
However, when you add Aspirin to the mix, the free oxide radicals become an issue. Aspirin is a Cyclooxygenase inhibitor (COX), which decreases prostaglandin (PGE 2) synthesis. Prostaglandins are responsible for vasodilatation of the renal afferent arterioles. If you are on Aspirin the renal afferent arterioles are vasoconstricted and subsequently renal blood flow is decreased. When renal blood flow is compromised your kidney is less able to deal with the free oxide radicals produced by Tylenol.
So what happens?
The free oxide radicals damage the renal medulla (which may slough off) or lose the ability to concentrate urine due to damage to the most notably the thick ascending limb of the nephron. This is called Analgesic Nephropathy.
Having said this, the damage is caused by long term mixing of Tylenol and Aspirin, so having mixed the two in the past once five years ago is not going to compromise your kidneys. Just make sure to avoid the mistake in the future, and pass on this information (there are way too many sources providing incorrect information on this subject).
If you're having pain that bad, maybe your doctor can prescribe something stronger or more effective. It's very important not to exceed the recommended daily dose of either medication. Like prescription medications, there are side effects to medications that you can buy over the counter. When you have questions about medications, the best person to ask is a pharmacist. You can call any drugstore and speak to one, you don't have to be a customer.
Yes you can take both together (called polypharmacy) There used to be an over the counter med called Vanqish. It had aspirin/acetaminophen (TYLENOL) and caffeine. The Tylenol compliments the aspirin and the caffeine helps aspirin work better. BUT don't take high doses of each--take like 325 mg. Tylenol and 325 mg aspirin. If aspirin bothers your stomach, buy coated aspirin, called enteric aspirin. It dissolves in your intestine instead of your stomach. Generic enteric coated aspirin from a place like Wal*Mart is inexpensive. Also save your money and buy generic Tylenol (acetaminophen). Long term use (within reason) should not be a problem.
Do not use Tylenol (acetaminophen) with any other products containing acetaminophen. You can exceed daily recommended limits and cause liver damage. Read all labels carefully (cough syrup, etc.).
Advice from a US licensed pharmacist is that it is safe to take acetaminophen and aspirin together as long as you follow the recommended dosages of either and have no allergies to either or conditions that would preclude your taking of either of these medications. As above, do not use acetaminophen with any other products containing acetaminophen.
Apparently so, since the active ingredient in Tylenol, acetaminophen, is used in combination with aspirin, in Anacin Advanced (250 mg acetaminophen, 250 mg aspirin and 65 mg caffeine.)
How long do you wait after talking Tylenol before taking Aspirin?
Tylenol and Ibuprofen are two different classifications of drugs. They may be taken together. For prolonged pain/fever relief, the best way is to take the Tylenol and then two hours later take the Ibuprofen.
Is it ok to take a baby aspirin morning and one at night?
I don't think it matters. However, some people can get an upset stomach and have better luck taking them before bed. Sometimes, even when taken with food in the morning, they can still cause stomach discomfort.
Good LucK! Have a beautiful and healthy baby!
-- Some vitamins have been shown to have an energizing quality. For example, the vitamin B family plays a role in helping many biochemical reactions which speed up metabolism and increase circulation. This concept has been extended to use in "5 hour energy shots". However these don't wire you like caffinated drinks do, if anything they just facilitate metabolism in your body, so they shouldn't really affect how late you stay up.
Many vitamins are also used in biosynthesis (anabolic functions) and function in regeneration of tissues. Thus if you are weight lifter and experience a lot of muscle soarness, it may be most beneficial to take vitamins in the evening. If you're tired on your 9-5 however, a multivitamin during the day might be the most useful.
Acetyl salicylic acid is the main and active ingredient in aspirin; it is this compound that results in all of its medically important properties. The other two ingredients in aspirin are: sand and sucrose.
Does Cyclobenzaprine have aspirin?
There are no concerns with taking these two drugs together. The only reactions listed for this drug are with central nervous system depressants and MAOI's aspirin is not part of either of these groups.
What are brand names of opioids?
Some opiod drugs include morphine, heroin, hyrocodone, oxycodone, and of course opium. Opioids have inherent analgesic (pain relieveing) properties and haven been used both medicinally and recreationally since 6000 BCE, making it one of the oldest drugs.
How safe is aspirin in pregnancy?

A fifty pound dog should be okay with one regular asprin. those are 325 mg. one in the morning and one at night. With food. If he won't eat then get the coated ones because it's easier on the stomach.
I got this from a vet website
http://www.vetinfo.com/daspirin.html
Aspirin has the same problems in dogs that it has in people. It can cause gastrointestinal upsets and ulcers if the GI signs are ignored. It can cause renal failure if overdosed. It causes an increase in clotting time. This usually isn't a serious side effect but it does occur. Despite these shortcomings it has a lot of beneficial effects and it is inexpensive. The currently recommended dosage of aspirin varies a little from publication to publication but it is between 5 and 15mg/lb every 12 hours. Since there is a range I usually pick the middle of it and go for about 10mg/lb every 12 hours. This works well and seems to be pretty safe. That works out to an aspirin tablet per 32 pounds of body weight twice a day. I have to admit that I rarely advise giving more than 2 aspirin twice a day despite the fact that some big dogs could obviously take more based on the per pound calculation.
I'm not sure, but i think not b/c Motrin and aspirin are not to be taken simultaneously
one reason for this is Motrin makes aspirin less effective
No. Motrin does not contain aspirin. Motrin contains the active ingredient ibuprofen.
It is important to remember, though, that Motrin (ibuprofen) and aspirin are both in the same category of medication; they are both "NSAIDs," or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and therefore may not be suggested to be taken at the same time.
