i have already done so and worry it'll cause some issues. it hit me to ask when i read the excedrin label?

Accepted Answer

Question 8

which is safer for the body if used occasionally: tylenol (acetaminophen) or aspirin i've tried both, feel like i've had similar results with both that's why?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends on whether or not you have any other health conditions.  Generally, because of aspirin's effects on the stomach, tylenol (acetaminophen) is considered safer as long as you don't have any liver problems.  If you don't have stomach problems (i.e., ulcers, bleeding, etc.), though, occasional use of either should be fine.

Question 9

how long does aspirin and tylenol (acetaminophen) stay in ur system? for example usually it says take every 6 hours so does that mean after that it's gone within?

Accepted Answer

Depends on dose: A one-time dose is normally gone within that time frame.   However, regular use of medications create a "steady state" baseline which takes longer to be metabolized.  How long depends on your metabolism.  For example, kidney or liver disease cause drugs to not be cleared as effectively, and the medication can build up in your system.   Also, effects of Aspirin on platelets can last up to a week.
