Question 1

can i take pamprin and tylenol (acetaminophen) together?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but be careful: Pamprin is naproxen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory like motrin.  Tylenol (acetaminophen) is entirely different class of analgesia.  They work in different ways to prevent pain and, in the case of pamprin, reduce inflammation.  However, both are very strong medications which can be toxic and tend not to be taken as seriously as they should because they're available over-the-counter without a prescription.

Question 2

is it okay to take pamprin 6 hours after tylenol (acetaminophen)?

Accepted Answer

Yes: One should avoid taking more than 1 type of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication within days of each other. However, Acetaminophen is not an anti-inflammatory. You should limit your daily intake of Acetaminophen to 3grams(3, 000milligrams)--previous recommendations were 4grams.

Question 6

after taking these for some years, midol, pamprin, & tylenol (acetaminophen)  now make me break out in hives & give me slight tongue swelling. what can i take?

Accepted Answer

Allergy - See MD: Hives and swollen tongue are often symptoms of an allergic reaction.  Often antihistamines (like benedryl) will stop or reduce the symptoms

talk to your doctor immediately to determine if this is indeed an allergic reaction & what you can take and if you develop shortness of breath, seek medical attention asap.  

If allergic --you should see an allergist (doctor) to determine you exact allergy.

Question 7

i have taken 2,000mg of tylenol extra strength (so, 4 caplets) in the past 19-ish hours for menstrual cramping, but i want to switch over to pamprin (because the tylenol hardly feels like its working). how can i do this safely and effectively?

Accepted Answer

: Pamprin is an over-the-counter medication that includes Tylenol, aspirin and caffeine. If you have been taking Tylenol, 1000 mg per dose, you should wait about 6 hours to begin taking Pamprin. Just realize that the only addition you get by using this medicine would be aspirin and caffeine. Sometimes the combination of Tylenol,aspirin and caffeine can be more effective for menstrual cramping.
