Question 1

i accidentally bought regular strength acetaminophen (325mg) instead of extra strength (500mg). since the dosage of extra strength is 1000mg (2x500mg), can i just take 3 regular strength totaling 975mg? this would still be less that 3 extra strength.

Accepted Answer

Yes: Close enough, you will be taking 975 mg per dose. Would suggest not going over 1000 mg per dose/ 3000 mg per day.

Question 2

is a dosage of 1500mg of acetaminophen at one time safe for a 28 yr old female weighing 210lbs?

Accepted Answer

Tylenol (acetaminophen) is not safe: That is a high dose and if repeated on any regular basis will put your liver health at risk.

Question 3

what's the maximum dosage of acetaminophen that i can take while pregnant?

Accepted Answer

4 grams/day: The dosing is no different for pregnant women taking Acetaminophen than non-pregnant women.  The max dose is 1 gram every 6 hours with a maximum of 4 grams per day. Importantly, this is assuming the person does not have kidney or liver problems, and is not an alcoholic.

Question 4

i took 1 tylenol (acetaminophen) pm & a standard dosage of nyquil, will i be okay?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Maximum dose of Acetomenophen (Tyleno) for an adult is 3gms per day.  Just don't take more than the recommended dose of Nyquil. Feel better!

Question 5

what is the correct dosage for acetaminophen for a 7 month old and 22.8 pound baby? i am giving him1.25 ml  every 4 hours and doesn't seems to working

Accepted Answer

150mg per dose: The dose for a 22lb (10kg) baby is 150mg of tylenol (acetaminophen) (acetominophen) every 4 to 6 hours as needed for pain or fever. If the baby is very fussy and/or the tylenol (acetaminophen) is not helping, the parent can call the doctor for what to do. Sometimes serious illnesses can start with routine cold symptoms in a baby. Sometimes they need to be on antibiotics for an infection, so a doctor's exam is beneficial.

Question 6

is it true that high dosage acetaminophen or paracetanol can kill you when mixed with alcohol?

Accepted Answer

In high doses, yes: Too much alcohol is damaging to the liver. Too much Acetaminophen is damaging to the liver. The two together have a synergistic effect, which means the two together are more damaging than high doses of either one alone. So very high doses at one time could be fatal, and moderate doses over time with the two may cause eventual liver failure.

Question 7

what is the maximum dosage for tylenol (acetaminophen) and advil together? can i take 1000mg of each at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Dosages : the label has the recommended dosages. If you are taking these meds for extended periods you should contact a physician about your pain.

Question 8

can you take extra strength tylenol (acetaminophen) while pregnant, two pills at a time? and what the regular dosage says?

Accepted Answer

Probably: Tylenol (acetaminophen) exposure is common in pregnancy but shouldn't involve more than the recommended dose. Toxicity of tylenol (acetaminophen) is easy so caution is warranted. There are some issues of tylenol (acetaminophen) use in pregnancy with blood pressure elevations and preterm labor as well. Isolated and irregular use is probably safe, but no medication can be presumed safe in pregnancy.

Question 9

what is norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) 10 dosage? should i take 2?

Accepted Answer

Norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen): Is a brand name, and a combination of two medications. One is hydrocodone, an opiod, the other is Acetaminophen found in tylenol (acetaminophen). 10 refers to the milligram of hydrocodone. You should only use what your doctor prescribed and do not exceed 6 tablets daily as this builds up tolerance very quickly and high tylenol (acetaminophen) dose can hurt your liver.

Question 10

2 month old vaccinations reactions. what's safe children's tylenol (acetaminophen) dosage?

Accepted Answer

Tylenol (acetaminophen) 40mgm: If baby weighs 6 to 11 lbs tylenol (acetaminophen) drops 40mgm and can be repeated every 4 hours if needed.
