Tylenol and vicodin???????????????

Question

can i take vicodin if i just took 2 500 mg tylenol 1-2 hours ago? i have this massive toothache that wont go away

Answer 1

Vicodin, at least the normal dosage, is 5mg of the acutal narcotic and 500mg of tylenol.( 5/500)  you already took 1000mg of tylenol and taking a Vicodine really won't hurt you but isn't advised because taking too much tylenol can be damaging to your liver, just try not to make a habit of it.  

Answer 2

This is a touchy subject on Yahoo Answers! But,I ersonally would go ahead and take the vicodin, as long as it is only a 5/325 or something mix. I had a knee injury and overdid the vicodin and alleve. But the 325 portion is acetaminophin. and should be ok. Just don't take more than one and no more tylenol until tomorrow. Otherwise do one tylenol PM just to get you to sleep. Good luck! I know that sucks!

Answer 3

The best solution for a tooth ache is to take diclofenac, this medicine can be found in any pharmacy. The advantage with this is that it is an anti-inflammatory drug, so the pain will must likely go away. You can take  a pill every 6 to 8 hours but don't take more than four pills a day. And besides you should go to the dentist to check out what the problem is.

Answer 4

Advil would work better it reduces inflammation  take 4 regular Advil  and use an ice pack  and some Anbesol and use Orajel sore mouth rinse and get to the dentist.  

Answer 5

vicodin has tylenol in it, if you took 2 you should be ok to take the vicodin but i wont not take anymore then that, one time when i was in bad pain i took 5 vicodin in 2 hours to mask the pain, i was nasus but it didnt kill me, the total dose was 2500mg of tylenol and 35mg of vicodin, however i dont suggest doing that alot, h**l i know some people that will take 8 vicodins at a time to get high(i think that is really dumb and inmature, but they were fine just messed up, iam sure their liver was mad as h**l) so you should be fine

Answer 6

I would say yeah you could because these are two different medications, and the first was only tylenol. If it was like codiene or something like that I would say definitely not. I've had a bad tooth ache and I know how it feels. I was interchanging tylenol and propoxyphene and was fine. Doctor said it was ok. But if you have any doubt just call the nurses line at your local hospital and they should be able to assist you more.

Answer 7

vicodin has tylenol in it but im sure you know that, that is why you are asking.

so far you have taken 100mg

you can take up to 8000 mg before it starts to harm your kidneys

so as long as you dont exceed 7900 mg of tylenol in your vicodin (lol) you will be fine!

go ahead, medicate yourself!

i hope your tooth feels better and get to the dentist asap!

=)

Answer 8

Um. I wouldn't try it. Vicodin is a really strong pill.I'm not sure how it reacts with other medications. But, try looking up other ways to ease the pain of a toothache.

Answer 9

I would not mix drugs.  Drug mixtures have synergistic effects, so adding the effect of drug one to the effect of drug two will not equal three, it could be five or eight or twelve.

Go to the dentist - TOMORROW.
