Medical Forum / General / Pharmacy / February 2004body weight factor in taking pain killers
i hear only 6 grams of tylenol is safe for a 24 hour period and only 1350 mg of aleve for a 24 hour period. doesnt it depend on ones body weight? I've always been told 4 grams a day... but it depends on the person. Some reports show that 10 grams has been ok. My dr keeps me under 4grams. My liver is frequently checked and so far, so good.

I read where if you are in your 60's or older, then about 2.6 Grams is the maximum recommended. > I've always been told 4 grams a day... but it depends on the person. > Some reports show that 10 grams has been ok. My dr keeps me under 4grams. > My liver is frequently checked and so far, so good. > Nicole question please I have to take Hydrocodone 10/325mg How many grams would be in 4 tablets ? and 6 ? thanks a gram is a thousand mg..so 4 tablets is .040 grams and 1.3 grams 6 is .060 grams and 1.95 grams..It is generally accepted that a normal healthy adult can take up to 4 grams of APAP a day..the older you get the less your liver functions as well as it used to and the less APAP you can take or have to take....so the 2.6 grams for the elderly is about right.

My max so far is 4 tabs ..so I'm way under . I read that to prevent nauseous to take with food..but that that cuts down the effectiveness.. is this true ? I have to take it with a couple of crackers, but I sure don't want to diminish the pain relief. Would just milk be better ? many thanks ! > a gram is a thousand mg..so 4 tablets is .040 grams and 1.3 grams 6 is > .060 grams and 1.95 grams..It is generally accepted that a normal healthy [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > How many grams would be in 4 tablets ? and 6 ? > > thanks I use Norco also.

I was reading online (RXLIST.COM) and read that if Hydrocodone makes you nauseous that you can take it with food. (this does help me a lot) BUT I read that taking it with food can cut down the effectiveness of the medication. Is this true? and would milk be beneficial instead of food? and not lessen the effect of the medication ? many thanks |
