Forty-five years old and I always was confusing acetaminophen versus Ibuprofen. And to learn that aspirin is something totally different! Thank you for your content!!!
Wow… I thought all this was an exact science by now? Thank you for making this all much easer to understand. Do you have advice or tips if we find someone who we believe had overdosed?
Overdose for Tylenol is specifically to help reduce liver damage. NAC is what the patient will be given for an Acetaminophen OD but they will have to be taken to an ER for this. Recognition and getting them to an ER is the best medicine here.
@@SixEcho thank you. I was thinking more on overdoses in general. I’m sure it’s dependent on what drugs they may have overdosed on. I didn’t know if there is any general principles for overdose victims.
@@chris_harshbarger Oh, got it. Yeah, regardless of what they OD on you are going to monitor the ABCs and provide support for those things. Airway, make sure the airway is open and clear. Roll them in the recovery position if they are breathing well. Breathing, make sure they are breathing well and provide rescue breathing if they are not. Circulation, assess their pulse and make sure they have a good heart rate and that they aren’t bleeding out anywhere. From there you would move into assessing vital signs and then any antidote or treatment for the suspected drug they may have ODed on.
Can’t forget you all! That’s interesting. Ours are 500 pills and you typically take two which ends up at 1g. Thanks for bringing another perspective to this!
Wow. This helps but same situation I find myself in. It sounds a bit scary.. yet I drink very little once a month perhaps and have a good diet.. I only take Tylenol with bad head aches or back,muscle pain.. so I guess ok? Nevertheless I am aware one needs be careful. I wonder what’s a Healthy assessment of use, 2 3 days in a row max for bad pain.. with a not more than once a moth… something like that. I think this should be though of as an emergency response to pain specially headaches and Absolutely not just over the gas counter anytime relief
That’s my take, yes. Use it as a tool when needed but use it sparingly. Medications can be helpful but they are never without side effects. So make sure the reason you are using it is bad enough to warrant possible side effects.
@@SixEcho thanks for replying. I think the best you can recommend is to just use the smallest dosage first of all. And shortest period of time without repeats. Anyhow thanks for caring

Thanks for mentioning the Europeans ;) Funny thing, dose wise, here the regular is 500mg and the heavy dose is 1g. We rarely take 2 at a time.

@@manuelschmidt1081 It's not as common but yes, some agencies do.
