How many Tylenol 3 can be taken to equal the strength of norco 7.5? ## Hello, Curious! How are you? You'd need 50mgs of Codeine to equal each 7.5mgs of Hydrocodone. However, you cannot double up, without your doctors approval, because you risk overdosing on the Acetaminophen in the Tylenol 3, which can be very dangerous. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

I want to know if you can only take Tylenol because of surgery in a few days can I take hydro's for something a little stronger? ## Hello, Pat! How are you? If you have been told that you should only take Tylenol/Acetaminophen, then that is all you should take. There are reasons for it, due to the bleeding and possible interactions with anesthesia that some other drugs can cause. And Hydrocodone is a narcotic, so yes, it could cause some problems. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## he Tylenol ONLY (TY is commonly known among docs as APAP) is because it cannot cause bleeding such as aspirin, Motrin, LOrduis an...

I took three of them as soon as I got them ,I can't really tell I've taken anything. I'm wondering if I should take a few more because I have a hot tolerance due to cancer I'm terminally ill. ## Hello, Michelle! How are you? No, the Codeine in this is actually a very weak/mild narcotic and you cannot keep taking multiples, due to the risk of Acetaminophen toxicity. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. If your current prescribed dose isn't helping your pain, you should contact your doctor so you can try something else. I'm sorry about your diagnosis and wish you the best. Is there anything else I can help...

Hello, I have been managing joint and joint replacement pain for years with Norco 10/325 on an as-needed basis. We are using the 10 mg because it as a smaller ratio of Tylenol than the 5/325. I have been careful to use it only as needed because I fear addiction. Recently I painfully injured my hip and needed to use pain killers more often. My doctor switched me to Percocet, which did little for the pain and gave me a huge headache. I thought maybe the headache was a fluke or had to do with switching from Norco, so I spent a 3 day weekend in a chair without any pain meds and then tried the Percocet again, but the results were the same - headache and little pain reduction. So I went back to the Norco, using it more often and in a slightly higher dose. My biggest fear became reality - I de...

what number does Tylenol 3 have on them ## Hello, Jackie! How are you? I'm sorry, but since this available as both a name brand and generic, there are far too many available for me to list all the markings and descriptions for you. Do the tablets in question have any markings on them? That information would enable me to identify them for you. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

I had six teeth out last wk and was given 20 Tylenol for pain and they are gone..do you think i should ask for a few more as it is still hurts especially where the stitches are. I was one amoxicillin 500 4 time s a day before they were pulled but then still hurt Thanks ## Hello, Nanc! How are you? It is normal for the sockets to remain sore for awhile, after extractions. Whether or not you ask for more pain medications is up to you. How severe is it? The FDA classifies Tylenol 3 as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

He took eventually 35 pills of 500mg of acetaminophen total of 17,500mg and he is trying to puke them out..what should i do? ## Hello, Hunny! How is he? In such a case, emergency medical attention needs to be sought, by either taking him to the nearest ER, or calling emergency services. If treated in time, there is a chance that a doctor can counteract the Acetaminophen toxicity and minimize the liver damage. The FDA lists the typical side effects, in normal dosages, to possibly include nausea, dizziness and headache. Can you please post back and update me? ## I, too, had liver enzyme tests come back high (taking Percocet which has acetemonphin). I lrned hat taking Milk Thistle and NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine). NAC is used in ERs when someone has ODed on Tylenol. With taking both of these su...

WHITE ROUND PILL WITH CEMOL WRITTEN IN CURSIVE ON ONE SIDE AND LOOKS LIKE CPL ON THE OTHER, BUT THE P AND L RUN TOGETHER. THIS PILL IS FROM THAILAND ## As far as I know, its basically a Thai Tylenol. It contains Acetaminophen which is found in Tylenol. I got a bag of them when I went to a dentist in Hat-Yai. ## That is correct, Cemol is available in several foreign countries and contains Acetaminophen, though I am not sure what dosage you have. As Cooter said, it is most commonly sold under the brand name Tylenol, it is a pain reliever and fever reducer. You can read more here: Did you have any other questions? ## Got some sort of an antibiotic in Thailand that is white has AMMI on one side, and a design on the other.

What would you say this Tylenol 3 is the equivalent to: Hydrocodone /5-500 mg. or 7.5 - 750mg. or 10 - 1000 mg? OR Vicodin, OR LORTAB (all in the same miligrams as listed above)? ## Hello, Neet! How are you? First, I'd like to state that Vicodin, Lortab, Norco, Lorcet and Hydrocodone/APAP are all the same medication. They are just different names for a narcotic analgesic that contains Hydrocodone and Acetaminophen. And just for everyone's information, the ones with those higher amounts of Acetaminophen are no longer available on the U.S. market. Now, that said, the Codeine in Tylenol 3 is actually a very weak narcotic. The tablet you've asked about is manufactured by Vintage Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 30mgs of Codeine and 300mgs of Acetaminophen. 30mgs of...

I was taking nexito 10 and atorfirst 10 for last 5 months. Now I got pregnant. This is my 2nd pregnancy. 4th week running. I am 30 years old. I also took azithromicin 500 for viral fever last week along with Tylenol. Now I am suffering from indigestion. So taking pan d tablets in the morning. Can these medications affect my pregnancy and fetus? ## @Rumi, According to the FDA, escitalopram (nexito) is listed as a category C pregnancy drug. In short, this means there are risks that cannot be ruled out since animal studies have shown that this drug has an adverse effect on the fetus. However, additional studies published by NIH.gov in May of 2012 go on to note that "escitalopram does not appear to be associated with an increased risk for major malformations, but does appear to increase...

Is the Tylenol ER good for toothache ## Hello, Ray! How are you? Tylenol contains Acetaminophen, which is an analgesic, but it really depends on the severity of the toothache. It may help with a relatively mild one, but if it's severe and there's an infection involved, it likely won't help much. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach irritation. Have you consulted your dentist?

Does taking tylenol pm change or lower methadone potency because my sister takes 50mgs of methadone daily but I just found out she has been taking up to 7 tylenol pm at the same time. Since she said her methadone doesn't last like it used to could tylenol pm be the cause? ## Hello, Tori! How are you? The Methadone combined with the Diphenhydramine in the Tylenol PM can increase sedation, which is risky, since it can lower heart rate, blood pressure and breath rate. But, the biggest concern is all the Acetaminophen that she's taking in daily. Each Tylenol PM contains 500mgs of it, so taking 7 of them at a time totally 3,500mgs and the maximum daily dose is only 3,000mgs. Anything over that carries the risk of overdose toxicity, which could lead to liver damage, liver failure and ...

Hello Iv had a torn Achilles in the past and other sports related injuries. I'm having rotator cuff surgery in a week and the doctor won't prescribe me the oxycodone 10's until the date of surgery. I'm in decent pain how many Tylenol 4's can I take at a single time to some what match the oxycodone 10's that helped before to try and get some relief thanks in advance ## Hi George, Converting pain meds is an iffy subject, because conversion charts are merely just a guide and results can vary greatly from one individual to another based on cross tolerance levels and several other underlying personal factors. However, just to give you a ball park figure, it has been speculated/rumored that 10mg of Oxycodone equates to about 90mg of Codeine. Tylenol #4 contains 300mgs ...

clear capsule w no markings at all ## I'm sorry, but if there are no markings, it will be impossible to positively identify, unless you would pay to have it lab tested. The only thing we can say for certain is that it is not a legal, U.S. prescription medication, as by law, they are all required to have imprints on tablets or capsules to enable their ID. However, this could be any one of a large number of over the counter items, I have seen quite a few supplements, both vitamin and herbal, that meet this description. I am sorry, I wish I could be of more help! ## I found 4 clear capsules containing brown powder under the bed in the guest bedroom. The only people who use that room are my grandchildren. What are these pills?l ## I take a capsule that looks like that & it's not...

This is a 500mg Tylenol pill. People are scratching the rest of an M to make it appear as Hyrocodone. Looks Like M 484. Just Be Aware ## @PDR 500, Thanks for the heads up. However, any legitimate patient shouldn't have to worry about this at all. Anyone can avoid such discrepancies by simply obtaining their Rx medication from a licensed pharmacy and not trying to "beat around the bush", if you will. Counterfeits are becoming much more prevalent throughout the world, as money hungry crooks try to cash in on needy pain patients. The best way to protect yourself is to remain legitimate and follow the rules, despite how restrictive they may be.
