Don't do it again: You took this in divided doses, i trust. This is a bit higher than the "safe dose" of no more than a gram every 4-6 hours, maximum 3 or 4 grams daily depending whose recommendation you read. You also know that 6 grams all at once can make you quite sick, and 10 grams or more at once can kill you. Do be careful and thanks for writing.

Question 7

my mom took 3.5 hydroco/apap pills. will she be okay?

Accepted Answer

Acetaminophen: Hi. Acetaminophen (aka Tylenol) can become toxic in doses exceeding 4 grams in a 24-hour period. 3.5 pills (even strongest Acetaminophen dose of 500 mg/pill) will not exceed the safe Acetaminophen dose.

Don't take it if you have liver disease already.

Question 10

what is the difference between tramadol/apap 37.5mg/325mg and tramadol 50mg?

Accepted Answer

With/without Tylenol (acetaminophen): tramadol/APAP 37.5mg/325mg = 37.5mg/tablet tramadol, a narcotic-like pain med, plus 325mg APAP=acetaminophen (as in Tylenol) as an augmenting pain med, the generic ingredients of Ultracet (tramdol and acetaminophen). Tramadol 50mg = 50 mg/tablet tramadol without any augmenting agent, Thus the 50 mg tab is more narcotic med. without the acetaminophen; the other is a lower quantity of tramadol with acetaminophen help.
