I got some generic tylenol from my wifes aunt and i was wondering if it was safe for her to take she is preg.?

yeah, acetamenaphin (not sure if I spelled that right) which is the main ingredient in tylenol is about the only thing she can take, unless her DR says otherwise.

That is very touchy. you might want to ask your doctor for some advice on that one as to what is safe to take and what is not safe to take.

Women's Tylenol works great for me. Besides that, the best thing is Motrin.

Well it depends if you are taking about narcotics (controlled drugs) or pregnancy drugs or what.\n\nControlled drugs are classified as I-V. (one through five)\n\nSchedule I drugs are illegal. They can include Ecstasy, Heroin, GHB, Peyote, Marijuana and more.\n\nSchedule II drugs can be: Oxycodone, Morphine, Ritilin, Fentanyl, Hydromorphone and more.\n\nSchedule III drugs can be: Ketamine, Vicodin / Tylenol 3, and more.\n\nSchedule IV drugs can be: Ambiem,  Xanax, Librium, Valium and more.\n\nSchedule V drugs can be: Cough suppressants containing small amounts of codeine, Diphenoxylate, and more.\n\nPregnancy drugs are classified as being either category A, B, C, D, or X.\n\nA is fine for pregnant woman.\n\nB include prenatal vitamins, acetaminophen (Tylenol) and several other medications used routinely and safely during pregnancy.\n\nC drugs have been shown to be harmful to fetuses, however, there are some reasons to be more concerned about these drugs than Category B drugs.\n\nCategory D drugs have some significant risks. They should be used during pregnancy only when the alternatives are worse.\n\nAnd X should absolutely not be used.

oh i feel so sorry for your little one! that's way too long to be sick. and a fever of 104 is extremely high which can be dangerous. when my daughter was 16 months, her fever got so high she had a seisure. the doctor said very high fevers can cause brain damage. you should give your daughter motrin which will really knock that fever out for alot longer period of time than tylenol. i have had several doctors tell me over the years that you can give motrin and tylenol at the same time. i really hope she gets well real soon. i will say a prayer for her as soon as i'm done typing this. oh geeze i just realized you said may 19, i thought it said may 6! so it's been about 4 days, hang in there. a month ago my 4 year old son was sooooo sick for 4 days, high fevers, vomiting, i was so scared i took him to ER twice and the clinic once. it was just something i had to wait out and let it take it's course.

First of all, nobody knows what the cause of this is. There is much speculation, and theories but there is no proof yet. Firstborn males barn in winter months are at a slightly higher risk of SIDS. To answer your question, there is no proof that tylenol will cause SIDS. I routinely give it to kids for pain related to vaccines as well as fever, and have been doing so for years.  A few years ago, we used to tell moms to place their children to sleep on their tummies, as many kids sleep better like this. When we started to see that Great Britain had a lower rate of SIDS, we reversed oour stance, and told moms to place their babies to sleep on their backs. Since then, our rate of SIDS halved itself. \n\nFrom your post, it seems that you did nothing that could have caused this, so it was completely out of your control. I am linking you to a site that has a pretty extensive review of the topic. Going forward on this, you are probably going to ask what your chances of having another child with sids is going to be. I will probably have to recommend that you first speak with Hunter's pediatrician and seek a genetics evaluation to rule out the most common disorders - otherwise you will be miserable during your next pregnancy. \n\nMy wife and I lost our second baby during 9/11 in NYC, Daniela came after that. Please do not give up. You seem like a caring individual and you will make a great mom yet again.

On this issue, I would agree with the pharmacist. \n Special information if you are pregnant or breastfeeding\nReturn to top\n\nBactrim should not be taken during pregnancy. If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, notify your doctor immediately. Bactrim does appear in breast milk and could affect a nursing infant. It should not be taken while breastfeeding. \n\nThis information I copied and pasted off the Bactrim website.  I would call the doctor back and let him/her know that you can not take this medicine.  Also when they gave you the medicine at the drug store they should have given you a information page .  I would take and read that page as well.  If it says dont take it if your a breastfeeding then don't.\nThe doctor should give you another type of medication that will help .  But as it said all med's are transfered threw breastfeeding.  Maybe u can breastpump some milk for the baby before you start taking the medicine?

You'll need to call them in your state to see if it is on your formulary. If not, ask if a generic or equivalent is. Or ask your doctor to request a Prior Authorization for it.

It depends on the item in question.  For things like trash bags and dishwashing detergent, I use the store brands as long as it's specifications match my needs.  I have been driving a truck for 6 years and have found that most similar items are produced by the same manufacturer as the one that makes the national brand.  This is NOT true of ALL things but you would be surprised at how many.  Sometimes the only difference is the color or a different type of perfume.  When it comes to household meds like pain relievers, antacids, anti-itch cream, etc., I would test them one by one to determine if they perform for you.  I use "generic" aceteminophen (tylenol) for occasional aches and pains but the generic brand is completely ineffectual for my wife.  She is forced by her body's response to use the national brand (Tylenol) because the generic just doesn't work for her.  So, there you are.  In short I would save a bit using the store brand when it fits your needs adequately but don't skimp if you truly have a need to use the national brand.  Hope that helps

Tylenol is acetaminophen, not ibuprofen.  It is fine to take Tylenol and Omnicef, the two are not known to interact.  It is also OK to take ibuprofen and omnicef together.\n\nWhen it comes to medication for your child the person you should really be asking is your pharmacist or doctor, not bunch of complete strangers over the internet.

Tylenol PM.. always works for me.

Not a good Idea may give you stomic problems.  you can alternate tylenol and motrin.  Like take tylenol then two hours later take motrin next two hours take tylenol and so on and so on.

Panadeine-15 avaliable in Australia is the strongest pain killer avaliable over the counter that is safe to use during pregnancy, but not when breastfeeding.\n\nOther than that, plain paracetamol is also safe to take.\n\nA natural method to relieve the cramping and soreness may also be heat, from a hot bath, hot water bottle, or wheat pack. Maybe give these a try if you are still at all worried about the painkillers.\n\nPharmacists are also great to chat to about any concerns you have, and are fully trained in giving advice about medications during pregnancy!

I wouldn't think so since they are all natural.  Anti-biotics are the only thing I know of that will interfere with the pill.\n\nhttp://www.angelic1healing.com

Ephedrine is no more an over the counter drug in most US states. Yes, you should be careful with it if you are taking it. \nMost drugs like anti inflammatory or anti pyretic -- ibuprofen and tylenol should be fine. Tums, gas medicine, and medicine in that order should be fine.  \nBut when it comes to cold medicines which have anti-histamines be very careful, they may interact with any medicine he might be taking for Mitral valve  prolapse(MVP)\nWhen in doubt always call your doctor and check. Better careful than sorry.

I recommend talking to a pediatrician. They can give you the best answers for that. Remember everyone's body chemical is different. What may be toxic to one may not be toxic to another. \nI remember when I was in school, the school was only allowed to administer tylenol 3 times in one semester because they were finding that too much is not good for the liver and kidneys.
