myprodol and Panado

Can I take Myprodol if I took 3 Panado tablets about 30 minutes ago? I have got the worst headache ever and the Panado hasn't helped at all. It feels like a rubber band is squeezing my head. Pain is centred from the base of my neck up and over to between my eyes. ## Both of these medications contain Acetaminophen/Paracetamol, which can be toxic, if taken in high dosages. According to current FDA reports, you shouldn't exceed over 1,000mgs every 8 hours, because such toxicity has the potential to cause severe liver damage, liver failure, and/or death. Ref: Medline Plus Acetaminophen Levels Symptoms of overdose may include nausea, vomiting, lowered heart rate, lowered blood pressure, stomach pain, trouble breathing, dizziness, and unconsciousness.

Edrisol or edrisal

Used to take for cramps. What was it? ## Is this still on the market? I used to take it for cramps ## Hello, Mel and Sandy! How are you both? Edrisal contained the active ingredient Phenacetin, however, it was banned by the FDA in 1983 due to the increased risk it caused of kidney failure and certain types of cancer. It is actually metabolized into Acetaminophen(Tylenol) so that is what it was replaced with in over the counter medications. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I wish they would research this some more and make any necessary changes. It really worked great for cramps. I don't know about you but it gave me a very euphoric feeling and feeling of well-being, but I never took more than absolutely needed. ## I took it also, back in the 60’s. It made me VERY ALE...
