Yes. The LD50 (lethal dosage in 50% of cases) on rats was 240mg/kg which is extremely high. 10mg of Xyzal may make you sleepy, but it won't kill you.

Treatment For Sciatic Pain?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I can attest to how horrible sciatica pain can be!! It is caused by pressure on one of the lumbar vertebrae (the lowest five in the back above the tailbone also known as L1-L5) from what can often be a mild injury. That swelling in turn puts pressure on the sciatic nerve, one of the largest nerves of the body that travels from the lumbar section of the back down the legs. Depending on which vertebrae was injured, the pain might run down the side or front of leg and often through the buttocks. IF IT IS SCIATICA IT IS ALMOST ALWAYS ON ONLY ONE SIDE!!!! The bad part is there is very little to do to ease the pain. NSAIDs can help some, but generally time is the only healer. Mine took almost 6 months to heal. I started out crawling, finally went to a walker, then a cane and now I am back to completely normal. I walk 3-4 miles a day to keep my back strong. VERY IMPORTANT: Do not rush into surgery!!! If your doctor says you need surgery get at least one and even two opinions. Surgery is NOT the best method many times and can often cause lifetime troubles when just time would have healed the original injury. I have a friend who went the surgery way and has has many surgeries now. He is aware he should not have had them, as they caused more problems than the injury itself. Take care & good luck!!

Is it safe to mix unisom with NyQuil?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, do not take these together. Both of these have an ingredient which causes sleepiness. If you check the label --- you will see that it is the same drug (diphenhydramine). You would be taking a double dose of this, which could cause trouble breathing or trouble waking up in the morning. If you are over 60, you could run a risk of falling from taking a double dose.

Where is Ibuprofen metabolized?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Ibuprofen is metabolized by the Kidneys and is thus excreted in the Urine. Actually, "...NSAIDs are metabolized by the liver via oxidative and conjugative pathways and have the potential to cause liver injury, with some agents being more hepatotoxic than others"

Can you take acetaminophen and Ibuprofen together with Naprosin?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You might take acetaminophen with ibuprofen. You might take acetaminophen with Naprosyn. But you CAN'T take ibuprofen and naproxen (Naprosyn) together, as long as both drugs are NSAID and works on the same receptors. Naproxen is a little bit more powerful than ibuprofen.

Can cialis be taken with ibuprofen?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, as long as you follow the recommended doses.
Viagra is known to cancel the effects of painkillers. there are many types of aspirin so it is not best to generalize your question with "aspirin". There have been studies but nothing seems to be proof positive. There have been reports of gastral problems like aching and swelling. But it seems that no one has died of it. I would go for not using any aspirin with Viagra. and with gastral pains as a possible side effect...well I know I couldn't perform with my stomach in pain.

How much paracetamal and ibrofen can you take at once?

User Avatar

Asked by DavidWrightfb0046

You can take paracetamol four times a day, and ibuprofen 3 times. So you could take 1000mg of paracetamol (2 tablets, if you're over 12) with breakfast, lunch and dinner and at bedtime, and 400mg of ibuprofen (if over 12) mid morning, mid afternoon and mid evening, for a painkilling regime where you get to take something every couple of hours. If you were having to do this all day every day, you should be visiting your GP for optimal help with your symptoms. You can take the tablets together, if you had a headache you could take two paracetamol and 400mg ibuprofen together, or 500mg of paracetamol and 200mg ibuprofen - always better to start with the smaller dose and see if it works for you before going in with the maximum! But you still need to remain within the daily limits described.

Can you take 800mg ibuprofen with oxycodene 325mg for different reasons at the same time?

User Avatar

Asked by Lindeeb

You may not realize it, but you are talking about 3 different drugs right now. When you say oxycodone 325mg, you are most likely referring to percocet, which is made up of oxycodone (the opiate) and acetaminophen (aka Tylenol). The most common dosage of each drug is Oxycodone 5mg, acetaminophen 325mg. So if you look at the prescription bottle, it will probably say "Oxycodone/APAP 5/325." APAP is an abbreviation for the chemical name for acetaminophen. The third medication you asked about is ibuprofen. This is the generic for advil and motrin. It is in the family of NSAIDs-Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs. There are no significant interactions between ibuprofen-acetaminophen-oxycodone. More important are side effects and your reasons for needing all these medications. Most important side effects: Acetaminophen- liver toxicity if too much is taken, the general rule is no more than 4 grams per 24 hour period. This number is decreased in the presence of other factors, ie. malnutrition, chronic alcohol abuse, etc. But most people do not approach the limit and therefore, acetaminophen is a relatively benign drug. Ibuprofen can have significant side effects. It can cause gastric distress and bleeding, increased bruising of the skin throughout the body, and even kidney problems. 800 mg of ibuprofen is a very high dose, if you do take that much, please make sure to take it on a full stomach. Oxycodone, like other opiates, has risk of addiction and all of its problems. Other side effects include constipation, urinary retention, sedation, and acute toxicity leading to respiratory depression --> failure--> death. With all of this information, think about why you need this combination of medicines. If you have enough pain, whatever the cause is, I suggest you see a doctor for a thorough evaluation. If you have seen a doctor and received the percocet prescription, but its not enough so you are considering adding ibuprofen, go back to your doctor and tell him/her you are still in pain. Don't add to your pain regimen without your doctor's advice. There is a lot of information here, but I hope some of it answered your question.

Does Advil lower your heart rate?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAI's) will, in fact, increase your heart rate and blood pressure. Not by much, but prolonged use and overdosage can become dangerous, especially in people with existing heart problems. If it has a bad reaction with another drug or you're allergic to it, that could lower your heart rate by quite a lot (and cause jaundice, nausea, and a host of other symptoms); but that would be an indication to seek urgent medical attention.
