Question 1

i had quite a few alcoholic drinks about 24 hours ago, is it safe to take my tylenol (acetaminophen) 3 dose or should i wait longer?

Accepted Answer

Safer to wait: In general it is best not to combine alcohol with controlled medications. You run the risk of accidental overdose, respiratory suppression and aspiration. When it comes to metabolism of alcohol, the  blood level declines in a predictable way.  Better wait since we don't have enough information.

Question 2

i take 10mg of oxycodone 3xs daily for severe ra. my flight is cancelled due to snow and cannot make it for my pain mgmt appointment. they gave me tylenol 4 for breakthrough pain. how do i take it? i will no longer have oxycodone after thur. thanks

Accepted Answer

As prescribed: Recommendations will be printed on the vial. Due to increasing scrutiny it will become increasingly difficult to obtain controlled substances. Make sure you see a rheumatologist as long term untreated RA may result in loss of function.

Question 3

hello my son ezra has been running a fever since sunday afternoon. i have been alternating tylenol and ibuprofen to keep it at bay. he doesnt really have any other symptoms besides congestion. should i take him to see a dr or wait a bit longer?

Accepted Answer

Fever: How high is the fever? I would recommend taking him to see his pediatrician if it's been 4+ days and not resolving.

Question 4

i took 2 500 mg of tylenol extra strength. can i take alkaseltzer too or do i have to wait?

Accepted Answer

: You should never take more than 3000mg of Tylenol in any 24 hour period. So, you need to see how much acetaminophen is in Alkaseltzer-if it is more than 500mg in the amount you will be taking, then you cannot take it. Good luck!

Question 5

if the dosage of 2 extra strength tylenol is 1000mg, and each regular strength is 325mg, then can you take 3 regular strength, since it totals only 975mg?

Accepted Answer

Yes: 3x 325 mg ~2x 500 mg and that will be the dose to take, not more than about 3 total such doses/ day, for up to 3000 mg or 3 g/day.

Question 6

took aleeve at 4 and its now 1045 can i take a tylenol?

Accepted Answer

: Yes. These drugs can be taken together or separately as you wish. They do not interfere with each other.

Question 7

is it okay to take tylenol after taking iron? like  4hrs after taking of iron.?

Accepted Answer

: No problem: I see no reason to worry about taking these together or separated by a few hours.

Question 8

is it bad to take tylenol (acetaminophen) everyday?

Accepted Answer

For how long?: You can use tylenol (acetaminophen) daily for some time, but it isn't a good idea to take it for months at a time.  More important is to determine why you need it for longer than a few weeks, and to address the problem that causes your symptom.

Question 9

we are ttc but i have a headache. can i take tylenol safely?

Accepted Answer

: Tylennol should have no effect on your ability to conceive.

Question 10

would it be fine to take 2 of the tylenol (acetaminophen) 3's?

Accepted Answer

Usually: For an adult without liver disease, the dose range is 1 or 2 tablets. If having pain beyond prescribed medication's relief abilities on a recurring fashion, talk to your prescriber about medication strength adjustment.
