How can I tell if "Caffeine" in aspirin / Advil / Tylenol?

I detect a pattern here...there is no other name for caffeine but related compounds are theophylline and theobromine.  In addition, look out for pseudoephedrine.  You don't have to take "sinus" aspirin, just take aspirin.  Now that I think about it, you probably did take pseudoephedrine, which is a decongestant.

Sure... in fact, if you usually have caffeine and you stop for more than a day, you'll probably get a b**tching headache... which you are more likely to get around that time anyway.\n\nBest time to go low caffeine is the day before cramps start, if you know when they are likely to come.  \n\nRemember, Aspirin is the best thing for cramps because it blocks the receptors for the prostaglandin hormone causing them...

Plain ole Advil doesn't not contain any aspirin... even in small amounts. \n\nHOWEVER: Ibuprofen does react with your body in a lot of similar ways to many salicylates, including acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). That's why, if you have a reaction to Aspirin, you should watch yourself with Ibuprofen, too.

Probably just generic aceteminophen (same as tylenol).\n\nIf you go to this website, there is a picture (scroll 1/2 way down), which you can match to yours to see if it is the same thing, just to be sure!\nhttp://aolsvc.health.webmd.aol.com/drugs/drug-362-Acetaminophen+Oral.aspx?drugid=362&drugname=Acetaminophen+Oral&pagenumber=2

No, at least the ones I've seen. The active ingredient is caffeine, the same as in a cup of coffee or tea or a cola drink, only you absorb it through your skin instead of through your gut. I think this is just a fad, exploiting the novelty of patch delivery systems rather than tablets. I'd be very surprised if there are any other types of patches that work.

Generic medications are the same active ingredient as the brand name. Tylenol is acetaminophen, Advil is ibuprofen...this has no relation to absortion time.  The Absorption time is affected by what dosage form for example- liquid, gelcap, tablet. In that order.  Liquid is absorbed fastest and easiest.

Taking 800 mg of Ibuprofen is going to help you more than anything else.  It's prescription strength.  Also it has an anti-inflammatory in it so it's going to work better than Tylenol or aspirin.

Tylenol and alcohol are bad on your liver.  Best to wait the next morning to take Excedrin.  Drink plenty of fluids, especially room temperature Gatorade, as it restores the dehydration from the alcohol, plus it restores the electrolytes.  The reason for it being room temp is that anything ice cold can make you sick to your stomach.  Eat a light meal, but drink loads of Gatorade.  Good Luck!!  I feel for you as I have been down that path before, lol.  Not sure about aspirin and alcohol... Try going to www.webmd as that is a great site for medical questions.

Well, the FeCl3 test, in this case, is useful for one thing and one thing only: to check the purity of the aspirin you have.  If there is a lot of phenolic group present(i.e unreacted salicylic acid), the yellow color of the FeCl3 will turn violet/purple.

Working in a hospital, i had a patient with a small spinal fluid leak, nothing too serious, but it was causing him terrible migraines.  So his doc admitted him to the hospital and we pumped his veins full of straight caffeine.  Headache went right away!  Im sure if your doc wrote u a prescription for some sort of caffeine pill, it would be for a headache, migraine, something along those lines.

The ingredients of Excederin are Aspirin and Caffiene.  Caffiene is believed to be a psychologically addictive substance, so it is possible that someone can become addicited, but it's not a physical thing.  It really wouldn't do much more than a cup of coffee would.

I would go to the pharmacy company's website to find out. If need be, call the doctor's office and find out. It doesnt hurt to ask.

They are separate. Tylenol contains acetaminophen and advil contains ibuprofen. They are both pain relivers, but they utilize different mechanisms to achieve their affect.

Naproxen is like tylenol.  It is not a scheduled med.  Inform the tester that you are taking Lunesta or any other prescription med.  They can tell from the lab tests what is in your system and if it is a narcotic or not.

(m)\n\nCaffeine is found in Coke, Jolt Cola, coffee and chocolate.\nYoung people and teenagers can consume high intakes of caffeine through cola drinks and ice coffee. High doses can cause heart arrhythmia.\nThis usually happens at intakes of more than 600mg of caffeine. This could be equivalent to 10 cups or more of coffee. Caffeine appears to be addictive. \nCaffeine is a stimulant that is often consumed to enhance alertness and concentration. Concentration of caffeine peaks in the blood within 30 to 60 minutes after the first sip and the effects last about four to six hours. Moderate consumption of caffeine is considered to be about 200-300 mg. (about the equivalent of 2-3 cups). Drinking too much caffeine (especially for people who don’t normally consume much) can cause nervousness, anxiety, sleep problems and a temporary increase in heart rate. Excess consumption may increase the risk of headache and elevated blood pressure. \n\nThe amount of caffeine in drinks varies greatly. An 8-ounce cup of brewed coffee contains 65 to 120 mg. of caffeine. However, some coffees may contain as much as 250 mg. of caffeine. A one-ounce serving of espresso contains about 30 to 50 mg. of caffeine. By comparison, a cup of decaf coffee (which is really not caffeine-free) contains 2 to 40 mg. of caffeine. An eight-ounce cup of brewed tea contains 20 to 90 mg. of caffeine. Iced tea tends to have less caffeine, ranging from 24 to 31 mg. of caffeine for an 8-ounce glass. Hot chocolate (8 ounces) contains 3 to 32 mg. of caffeine and a glass of chocolate milk contains 2 to 7 mg. A one-ounce serving of milk chocolate contains about 1 to 15 mg. of caffeine, while dark, semi-sweet chocolate has 5 to 35 mg.
