Tylenol Arthritis

Acetaminophen

Paracetamol, also known as acetaminophen,[a] is a medication used to treat fever and mild to moderate pain.[11][12] At a standard dose, paracetamol only slightly decreases body temperature;[11][13][14] it is inferior to ibuprofen in that respect,[15] and the benefits of its use for fever are unclear.[11][16][17] Paracetamol may reliev...

I have osteoarthritic hips and run a restaurant, I am on my feet 5-6 hours a day. I currently take meloxicam 3-4 days a week with Tylenol Arthritis. I need something stronger, would Tramadol 50mg be a better choice? Could I take them both in the morning safely? ## Tramadol is classified as an opiate, by FDA standards, so it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. As to your other question, it depends on what you want to take it with? I'm sorry, but your post wasn't clear. Can you please post back and clarify? Thank you!

Can i take norco 7.5-325 with tylenol for arthritis? I have rheumatoid arthritis and am having a flare up. I am swollen and stiff and in a ton of pain. ## Hello, Annette! How are you doing? No, Norco contains Hydrocodone and Acetaminophen (Tylenol), so it could result in overdose toxicity, if you take more Tylenol with it. 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. Tylenol really doesn't do a lot to alleviate the swelling, anyway. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories usually help more. What has your doctor suggested you take for it?

is tylenol er a prescription medication? ## It depends on the dosage, there is an over the counter formulation sold as Tylenol Arthritis Pain formula, it contains 650mgs of Acetaminophen in a time released formulation and is sold over the counter. Higher dosages, however, require a doctor's prescription. Is there anything else I can help with?

started taken meloxicam 15mg a week tomorrow,for psoratic arthritis it has not reduced the pain, do I need to take it longer before it kicks in. also i have cramp in my hands and pins & needels ## Hello, Mary! How are you? The FDA classifies this medication as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation. That said, it should have started to help right away, similar to Tylenol or Advil. If not, it's most likely not the right medication to help you and you'll need to see your doctor to try something else. Is there anything else I can help with?

First have no cartaledge in left knee and only 50% in right knee with significant degradation of the joints bilaterally.

Longer than tylenol and not coated cor 116 imprint. What is it? ## Hello, Hellonheels! How are you? This is an Acetaminophen tablet, it is the extended release version that contains 650mgs per tablet, which is why they are bigger than the others. This dosage is most often taken to treat arthritis. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness and headache. Is there anything else I can help with?

Yes im just wondering if Ibuprofen will do much good for my arthritis in my legs. My knees swell a lot an it hurts bad. My doctor recommended Tylenol 3 with codeen which im highly allergic to. Any suggestions. ## There's really no way to know, except by trying it to see if it helps you. However, there is no 500mg Ibuprofen available. Over the counter doses are available in 100mgs or 200mgs, prescription doses are available in 400, 600, and 800mgs. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation. Are you on any other medications?

I have curvature in my back and arthritis in my back and the only relief I have is oxycodone, I want to get off this but do not know what to try. Would Meloxicam or Tramadol be a good substitute? Please tell me of anything else I can try. Alleve or Tylenol does not do much and I'm in constant pain without Oxy. ## Hello, Demi! How are you? Neither of those medications are as strong as Oxycodone, plus the Tramadol is also a type of opiate that carries the same risk of being habit forming. It can also cause very similar side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation. Why do you want to stop taking the Oxycodone? How long have you been on it and what dose do you take?

Can you take Gabapentin & Tylenol together for arthritis? ## Hello, Thomas! How are you? The Gabapentin may reduce the effectiveness of the Acetaminophen in the Tylenol Arthritis, but yes, you can take them together, if your doctor approves. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Gabapentin as possibly including nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and weight gain. Tylenol Arthritis may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness and headache. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I am taking gabapentin for back pain and fibromyalgia that I have very bad now in my left arm. Is it ok to use tylenol with codeine alongside 300 mg gabapentin?

What are the side effects and how well does this drug work for severe arthritis in your back? ## Hello, Jessy! How are you? Like any medication, it works well for some people, but not for others, since we are all different. This is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and the FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation. Have you tried it, yet? If so, is it helping you? ## Some of them mostly severe headache and stomach upset I tried to eat with it but no help ## My doctor put me on meloxicam can I take gabapentin100 in morning 300 at night. Also Tylenol and ibuprofen if needed ## I too am experiencing headache and diarrhea. It has helped with some joints but not my knees. I am thinking of stopping it...

I have bulging disk and arthritis in my back.Been taking four 10 milligrams of oxycodone for over a year, the pain is getting worse. My doctor said I'm.at.my limit for med because I got three stents. Would like to know can I take 15mg of cortisone with aTylenol. My doctor.said.I.need meds that has Tylenol In it. Is this true. ## Hello, Steve! How are you? Are you sure your doctor said you need Acetaminophen? Usually, when someone has a heart condition, it's Aspirin, which is classified by the FDA as an NSAID that also works as a blood thinner. Cortisone is a steroid, I'm not sure if that's what you meant to type. If so, then no, this is a class of medications you will generally have to abstain from, they tend to elevate your heart and blood pressure, which could put you ...

I take 2mg of Coumadin every day and will be for the rest of my life because I have a mechanical aortic valve that I got in 2013. No issues at all with the Coumadin other than I was recently diagnosed with osteoarthritis. Called to make an appointment with my rheumatologist and he wouldn’t even see me, stating there was nothing available for managing my osteoarthritis that I could take with Coumadin. I’m 61 years old and don’t plan on retiring any time soon. Other than swelling and pain in some of my joints I feel great and can work hard as ever. That’s the only thing that slows me down. My family doc said to take Tylenol which does nothing for me. I’m considering CBD but can’t find enough information on if it’s safe to take that with Coumadin o...

i have back problems an i was givin some by a freind ## Because pain medications tend to effect each person differently (due to various levels of pain tolerance and severity), you can't really tell someone "how" strong something like this is. What works for them may not have any effect on you, or vise versa. The Tylenol ER isn't necessarily stronger than other forms of Tylenol (in regards to potency). All it does is simply last longer, since it's an extended-release version of the drug. OTC meds like this also aren't really intended for severe pain issues, but it may help alleviate minor muscle aches & body pain, such as arthritis. I hope this helps!

I have really bad rheumatoid arthritis and bad knees had one replaced have been on hydrocodone but now doctor is trying to get me to go off of that or at least go down to three a day this would work during the day but then at night I can’t sleep because of paint so can I take Tylenol p.m. to sleep at night ## If you are taking Hydrocodone that also contains Acetaminophen, it would be best not to add the Tylenol, since it also contains Acetaminophen, which could result in your experiencing Acetaminophen toxicity, and it has been known to be fatal. The FDA warns that Hydrocodone carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, and headache. What has your physician advised to help with your insomnia issues?

I have been taking extra strength Tylenol for arthritis and now I am having hives all over my body and some numbness in my upper left lip. ## My lips feel numb after taking more than two tylenol at a time. no hives just numbness ## Helo Dolores, The symptoms you are experiencing are most likely the result of you having an allergic reaction. I very strongly suggest that you see a doctor immediately and stop taking the extra strength tylenol. Let us know how it goes.

I was on tylox 5/500 4 times per day for years due to a motorcycle accident with a scorpion back break. I have had 2 surgeries and now lots of scar tissue and severe arthritis in my lower back with severe chronic pain. When they removed tylox with acetaminophen my dr. prescribed percocet 5/325 in jan 2014. Since that time i itched like crazy. Dr. sent me to dermatologist who sent a report that it was lasix coming out of my body but dr. said that was not what was causing itching, but never told me what was causing it. Now pharmacist says the fillers and binding agents cause allergic reactions that are making lots of people itch. Can my dr. prescribe just a straight 5mg oxycodone with no acetaminophen or something else? What would you suggest? Vicodin or loritab are out of the question wi...

I am taking Percocet 5/325 twice daily for rheumatoid arthritis and/or gout. If I take that with 2 Tylenol will effects and duration be effected? ## There is Tylenol (Acetaminophen) in the Percocet, that's what the 325mg amount designates, so it is not safe to add more, as it could result in overdose 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. Is there anything else I can help with?

My sister is on a BP med "Enalapril" for the past couple of years. She has recently started taking Tylenol Arthritis tabs. Are there any indications of drug interaction from this combination? She is 72 years old. ## She should check with her doctor, or pharmacist to be certain, but there are no interactions listed. The Tylenol Arthritis just contains a time released formulation of Acetaminophen, which is actually one of the safer medications for a high blood pressure patient to use. ## At age 60, I am concerned of the risk of organ damage (liver / kidney) from long term use of tylenol or ibuprofen for arthritis pain. So much so that I generally take good old aspirin, 3 tabs two or three times a day. My stomach is fine, I don't bleed easily. My blood pressure med is Atacand 3...
