Can you take Plavix with aspirin?

Yes, they may be taken together, but may increase the risk of stomach bleeding. To decrease this risk, dissolve regular cheap aspirin in a glass of warm water to help prevent this problem.

How many tablets of aspirin are needed to extend the life of carnations in a vase?

Can you take aspirin and acetaminophen together?

You Should not mix Acetaminophen (Tylenol)[Paracetamol ]

and Acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin). The reason for this is long term renal (kidney) damage. What happens is - 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).

Can you take Tylenol cold multi-symptom medicine two hours after taking aspirin?

There should be no problem taking these to medications in close temporal proximity, as there is no significant interactions between aspirin and tylenol.

Why does aspirin cause bronchospasm?

Aspirin is a non-selective and irreversible inhibitor of a class of enzymes known as COX. These enzymes are responsible for the production of prostaglandins and thromboxane. There are several subtypes of prostaglandins, some of which induce bronchospasm (PGE2) and others that cause bronchodilation (PGI2). But this is unimportant since aspirin will block the production of all prostaglandins.

If you look at the figure below, you can see that COX enzymes are only half of the story in the metabolism of Arachidonic acid. The other half is known as the Lipoxygenase (LOX) pathway

This LOX pathway is responsible for the production of pro-inflammatory chemicals known as Leukotrienes (LTs). By blockade of the COX pathways, all of the arachidonic acid is funneled into the LOX pathway, thereby increasing these pro-inflammatory chemicals. And since pro-inflammatory chemicals are the same chemicals that produce allergies and anaphylaxis --> Bronchoconstriction occurs.

In other words, by blocking the synthesis of PGs (some of which can bronchodilate), the balance between bronchodilators and bronchoconstrictors is deregulated, leading to a predominance of bronchoconstrictors, hence the asthma.

They say before a surgery you are supposed to eat 10 bananas you should stop listening to stupid doctors who have no clue on what they are talking about.

Can you mix benadryl aspirin and ampicillan for a swollen paw?

What is the difference between aspirin and paracetamol?

Paracetamol is often more commonly known by its alternate name acetaminophen. It is a common drug that is usually available over the counter and sold under brand names like Tylenol®:. Its main uses are to relieve pain (analgesic) and to reduce fever (antipyretic), and it typically mild with few side effects. Most people can take paracetamol without problems, though there are a few instances where it may be contraindicated.

Aspirin is an analgesic, or pain reducer, an anti-inflammatory and a fever reducer. As such, it is often resorted to for mild to moderate pain, such as attends chronic arthritis, colds and flu, or sports injuries. Developed in the latter part of the nineteenth century, aspirin is now known to reduce the coagulation of the blood, and in continuous low doses can provide some protection from heart attacks.

How many baby aspiring instead of regular aspirin?

How much you give of either buffered adult aspirin or baby aspirins depends on the weight of your dog:

A dog that weighs 8 lbs, would get 1/2 baby aspirin or less.

A dog weighing 16 lbs, would get 1 baby aspirin.

A dog weighing 32 lbs, would get 1/2 buffered adult aspirin or 2 baby aspirins.

A dog weighing 48 lbs, would get 3/4 buffered adult aspirin or 3 baby aspirins.

A dog weighing 64 lbs, would get 1 buffered adult aspirin or 4 baby aspirins.

A dog weighing 80 lbs, would get 1 1/4 buffered adult aspirin or 5 baby aspirins.

A dog weighing 96 lbs, would get 1 1/2 buffered adult aspirin or 6 baby aspirins.

Aspirin can cause gastrointestinal upsets and ulcers in dogs, just as in humans. You should pay attention to your dog's eating habits when you have been giving it aspirin to watch for signs of an upset stomach (such as not wanting to eat, or vomiting) and stop giving the aspirin. To minimize stomach problems, always give food with the aspirin.

How much adult capsules do you give a 14 pound dog benedrayl?

A dog should be give only regular strength Benadryl. For a small dog, it' probably easier to give it the liquid children's formula.

Can pits be taken out of the inside of muzzleloader or new barrel with same serial no be bought?

In answer to part two of your question, you usually cannot get a new barrel with the same serial number, however; the part of the firearm that must have a serial number is the frame of the firearm. In other words, a replacement barrel with a different serial number is kosher. Many firearms manufacturers will replace the barrel with a new one that has the old serial number along with additional numbers/symbols/letters to indicate it is a replacement as long as you send it to the manufacturer for repair.

In answer to the first part, maybe. Without knowing how bad the pits are, and any other possible problems you might not see, it is not possible to give a definitive answer on you case. Consult a gunsmith.

There are very few firearms that are serial numbered on the barrel to match the frame/receiver. There is no requirement to have a number on the barrel.

What happens when you smoke aspirin?

You will get the gitters, possibly have a siezure, could suffer memory loss, and you will sweat profusedly for a couple minutes until the dosage wears. You will also get cold sweats. This is my guess based on the composition of aspirin. It is a blood thinnner in low doses but a deadly blood clotting agent in high doses. Take it from the kid that has a brain about drugs that still alive.
