What is the dosage of Ibuprofen for a 50 dog?

1st Answer:

Ibuprofen is toxic to dogs and cats -- their livers cannot process it. The dosage is NONE.

2nd Incorrect Answer:

Ibuprofen can be toxic to dogs and cats in very low doses. Yes their livers can process it. The recommended dosage is 2.5 mg/lb every 12 hours. Now the dosage has a very small safe window so there are much better choices. It is only a choice if you have no access to a vet in the short term.

3rd Answer:

NO Ibuprofen should NEVER be used with dogs or cats. You can use buffered aspirin instead. The dog should be taken to a Veterinarian to be checked out. The Vet can then recommend the appropiate medication. Ibuprofen is never a CHOICE for dogs or cats.

Does Ibuprofen 200 mg contain acetaminophen?

No. Tylenol has acetaminophen as its active ingredient. Ibuprofen belongs to a separate class of drugs known as NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and is the active ingredient in products such as Motrin and Advil.

Can you mix ibuprofen and antihistamine for an infant?

Yes - your child can take Ibuprofen & an antihistamine together as long as you ask your physician for the proper dose for the antihistamine as they usually aren't recommended for children under 6.

Our daughter contracted the measles from her MMR (yup - that's right, she got the measles from her MMR vaccination) and we were told to give her Acetaminaphine or Ibuprofen & Benadryl to help with itch relief and pain. She was not 2 years old yet.

Recently she had RSV and again we were recommended to use a combo - this time Ibuprofen & Triaminic Nighttime.

Just check with your pediatrician or advice nurse first for dosage

What are the side effects of Ibuprofen?

Ibuprofen is a remarkably safe drug. One person in one hundred will have some gastric distress with it (stomach upset) but most people have no more gastric reaction to it than a sugar pill. If you exceed 2400 mg a day, however, you will start to retain fluid.

Can you give an infant ibuprofen?

Tylenol should only be used as directed. Every situation is different so I would consult your doctor or visit the Tylenol website which will contain a lot of information. Their site states that before using Tylenol Infant for children uner 2 years of age you should consult your physician.

Is Motrin an antiinflammatory?

Definitely not aspirin.

Aspirin is designed purely for headaches, but it is rather controversial and unpopular outside the USA because of its side effects.

Ibuprofen is a general all-around painkiller with anti-inflammatory benefits.

So, your answer would be ibuprofen.

Can Tylenol with codeine 3 and ibuprofen be taken together?

Yes, but do not take them in excess. If you have cirrhosis or liver problems, simply take the Tylenol with Codeine 3. Tylenol and Ibuprofen have the same effects and mechanisms of action, so there is no reason, unless explicitly instructed by your physician, to take them both together.

DON'T DO IT. Use of Tylenol with other pain relievers (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen sodium, ketoprofen or prescription pain relievers) is not recommended, unless directed by your doctor. Don't take Tylenol(acetaminophen) with other acetaminophen products. You can exceed the daily recommended limits and cause liver damage. Dosage is different for kids and adults. A five year old took four Tylenol and had irreparable liver damage.

research it at www.Tylenol.com. Don't listen to message boards. Talk to your doctor.

Is there aspirin in Ibuprofen?

No, there is no aspirin in ibuprofen, but they are both NSAID meds (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).

Can you give a 7 year old an ibuprofen 200mg tablet?

You can access ibuprofen dosing charts for children online. Age is not the first determination for dosing. Most charts begin at 6 months of age, then proceed by weight. Checking different web sites, I did however find conflicting dose charts. When dealing with a child I tend to side with caution. The following is a chart I found to be most accurate; http://www.texaschildrens.org/Parents/TipsArticles/ArticleDisplay.aspx?aid=921

Once a child reaches the weight necessary to be given 200mg of ibuprofen, its a personal choice as to what form to give. A 200mg tablet/capsule/capsule/ etc may be given if tolerated.

Please remember, "more is not necessarily better!" Recommended doses are there for a reason. Taking more than recommended can quickly become toxic and do irreparable damage to your body.

Who invented Ibuprofen?

The first person to make what we know today as aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) was the French chemist Charles Frederic Gerhardt in 1853. He did this by combining salicylic acid (the painkiller) sodium and acetyl chloride, which made it easier on the stomach. He did not attempt to manufacture or market it.

German chemist Felix Hoffmann rediscovered and patented aspirin in 1899, leading to its distribution by the Bayer company in 1900.

Before Gerhardt, Italian chemist Raffaele Pinna had produced salicylic acid, but its use as a remedy was impractical because of its unpleasant effects on the stomach. The Greek scholar Hippocrates (5th century AD) was among the first to investigate the use of the active ingredient salicin, found in willow bark, as a medicine.

Can you use Ibuprofen and oxycodone together?

Absolutely - Oxycodone and Tylenol is already marketed as a prescription drug. You know it as Percocet.

Percocet Dosages have 2 numbers, e.g., the dose I use is 10/325. The 10 indicates the amount of Oxycodone in the pill, and the 325 indicates the amount of Tylenol in the pill.

There are several doses, ranging from 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10mg of Oxycodone, with up to 750mg of Tylenol. Depending on how much is taken, a patient may opt to go with a lower Tylenol component. For example, I use between 120/150 per month, so I use the lowest dose of Tylenol available. I can always increase the amount by taking regular Tylenol if needed.

Conversely, the combination of Oxycodone and Aspirin is known as Percodan. It's not prescribed as often because Oxycodone is already hard on the stomach if you're not used to it. Adding the Aspirin component doesn't help, so for long term pain patients like me Percocet is much easier on the system.

Can you mix ibuprofen 800mg and vicodin 500mg?

Most doctors would say NO! It really depends on how much you use! Vicodin has tylenol in it and again, most doctors would tell you no more the 2000 mg a day of tylenol. If the vicodin you are taking is say 10/325, it means there is 325mg of tylenol in it. If 5/500, it means 500mg! Just do the math. Extra strenght Tylenol most of the time is 500mg!

Can you take ibuprofen if you have glaucoma?

Yes, you can generally take ibuprofen if you have glaucoma, but it's important to do so under the guidance of a healthcare provider. Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that does not typically affect intraocular pressure, which is crucial for glaucoma management. However, individual health factors and medications can vary, so consulting with a doctor is recommended to ensure it’s safe for your specific situation.

Can you take Ibuprofen with Duloxetine?

I'm not a doctor, but my own doctor told me not to take ibuprofen or aspirin with Cymbalta as it can cause your blood to become thinner.
I wouldn't recommend mixing the two on a regular basis. Taking cymbalta with any NSAID can cause stomach bleeding. If it's used on occasion then it shouldn't be a problem. I used to take 600mg of ibuprofen every 6-8 hours every day with cymbalta and it caused my stomach to bleed. Also, the higher the dose, the more likely bleeding is to occur (i.e. 120mg of cymbalta daily with 800mg of ibuprofen QID).

Is Buprenorphine the same as Ibuprofen?

No, buprenorphine is an opioid narcotic and a controlled substance that only a doctor can prescribe.

Ibuprofen is an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug), a completely different class of medications, and is available over the counter at most pharmacies. However, in high doses it can be toxic or even fatal.

Can you take both dramamine and Tylenol cold medicine?

The answer is probably yes - dramamine is an antihistamine while Tylenol is generally acetominophen (an NSAID). However, if the Tylenol has any other active ingredient (check the back of the box), I would not mix the medications without consulting a pharmacist.

Can you take Tylenol cold and sinus night time and Wellbutrin?

Short answer: yes, they can safely be combined in full, normal doses.

Advil Cold and Sinus is ibuprofen (NSAID analgesic) with pseudoephedrine/phenylephrine (nasal decongestant; the active ingredient in Sudafed), and Tylenol PM is acetaminophen (analgesic) with diphenhydramine (sleep aid; the active ingredient in Benadryl). Combining ibuprofen and acetaminophen is a little redundant, but perfectly safe. Both also have no significant reaction with either diphenhydramine or pseudoephedrine. Some people do report different reactions to both diphenhydramine and pseudoephedrine: some people are sedated by both, and some report excitability. Be sure to note your personal reactions for future reference.

Note that you'd probably save some money and take fewer unneccesary drugs by purchasing generic versions of each drug separately -- ibuprofen, acetaminophen, diphenhydramine, and pseudoephedrine. The first two are for pain (you can opt for the one you prefer), the third is for insomnia, and the fourth is for nasal congestion. That way, you can take only what you need.

Can ibuprofen be given to infants sooner than 6 to 8 hours?

FDA has approved Tylenol for under 6 months.

No good studies have been done to see if Ibuprofen/Motrin is safe. It should be and if kiddo is over 2 months, and has a fever with a source (know from where) then Ibuprofen should be fine if Tylenol isn't quite enough.

Under 2 months -- you need to be checked by an MD as may have a serious bacterial infection needing possible advanced ER/Hospital care.
