I would say do not take them together. Yes, you should always be careful with your consumption of OTC pain meds. Then, keep track of how much acetaminophen you take by reading all medication labels. I find it very strange that anyone would combine the two.Excellent summary of the perils of using and combining these two drugs. He is experiencing severe headaches so he's taking Tylenol frequently through the day.I think this is too much aspirin, because of his brain bleed.He is 59 and takes the 81mg of aspirin daily for his heart.This is literally #FakeNews. Excedrin for instance has both. I always thought Kaolin/pectin worked better than Pepto-it is a shame they changed it. Both forms have the same side effects. If you treat your hangover the next day, it may help, but use a lower dose and dont slam yourself. Aspirin and acetaminophen can be taken alone at higher doses without causing damage. Have you? I would never have tried mixing these medications without the suggestion of my physician. People are so quick to just pop a pill anytime something goes slightly wrong so who knows how many times we have inadvertently double-dosed on something we shouldn't have?Working in a pharmacy for many years dispensing medication has taught me you should always do your research before mixing any types of medication. This can cause the kidney to become damaged and develop acute kidney failure. Compare Acetaminophen vs Naproxen head-to-head with other drugs for uses, ratings, cost, side effects, interactions and more. Side effects of naproxen are usually more unpleasant than those of acetaminophen. Codeine can be addictive, so my opinion is not to take them together. I was in my pharmacy before and I looked at 3 different Kaopectate bottles. Taking the manufacturer's recommended dosage of aspirin and acetaminophen together for a short time has not been shown to cause organ damage. The short answer is to not overdo it.
However, taking them together is generally safe. With repeated exposure to acetaminophen, the kidneys' structural units, the nephron limbs, thicken. Or if I must take them both to put 5 - 8 hours between them.I noticed you really like to disagree with me. This is not a normal reaction to low doses of Tylenol, with but habitual use, especially at a higher dose, can begin damaging the innermost part of the kidney.The kidneys perform two important functions: filtering waste from our internal fluids and producing hormones that help other organs to function. The same is true for other drugs that contain naproxen or acetaminophen. Unfortunately, mixing over-the-counter medications can have lasting and damaging affects on our internal organs.Let's discuss the dangers of mixing aspirin and acetaminophen.Mixing these two medications can be dangerous. Acetaminophen is generally safe when taken as directed.The maximum daily dose for a healthy adult who weighs at least 150 pounds is 4,000 milligrams (mg). This causes the kidneys to slowly lose their filtering capacity.The function of nephrons is to regulate the concentration of water and sodium salts in your body. There are 800,000 to 1.5 million nephrons in each one of our kidneys. @lilyfly Your words are always SO nice and always make me smile, thank you! However, longterm mixing of acetaminophen (the ingredient in Tylenol) and aspirin can result in renal (kidney) damage. I think Disney took over our minds somewhere in the early nineties, whenever people started singing the songs in the shower, every morning. In low doses, acetaminophen and naproxen are safe to combine. Together they eradicate waste, regulate our blood volume and blood pressure, control our levels of electrolytes and metabolites, and regulate the PH balance of our blood.
Other pain relievers contain non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). I knew as soon as I wrote this I was going to hear about it after we disagreed on the other question but really, two questions is hardly picking on you! To avoid this, you should understand your limit for acetaminophen. These high doses can have side effects, such as an upset stomach.For most common acute pain issues, these drugs are not the best choice. The same is true for other drugs that contain naproxen or acetaminophen. An acetaminophen overdose can cause serious liver damage. So you couldn't take Naproxen with Percocet because the Percs have acetaminophen in them. So if you need long-term pain relief use either acetaminophen or aspirin, but not both, unless you are under a doctor's care.Unless you have other medical conditions, particularly liver (risk with heavy drinks, hepatitis patents or seniors) or kidney issues (seniors are at risk here too), it is safe to mix acetaminophen and aspirin together for a short time, provided one does not go over the maximum dose for the two drugs.Taking too many aspirin and Tylenol capsules can cause pains, such as liver damage and internal bleeding from the stomach.We have all reached for the aspirin after a night of drinking or when we have a bad headache. @Arlene V. Poma I thought it was strange too but, apparently, my doctor said it is two of the most common over-the-counter medications mixed. Probably a sales issue-Pepto advertises more!
