If you take only one extra strength tylenol, would it be half effective or not effective al all?!


Question: If you take only one extra strength tylenol, would it be half effective or not effective al all.?
Answers:
If you take half an extra strength Tylenol (250 mgs acetaminophen) it will give you 50 % less pain relief than if you took the whole thing. In saying that, all you may need is half the pill to help the pain.
I'm not sure what the other person is talking about saying 200 & 400 mgs as acetaminophen comes in 325 mgs, 500 mgs and 1000 mgs only. I think he's thinking of ibuprofen.Health Question & Answer

Depends what your ailment is. Typically a 400mg dose is good for most things. If too much pain, take 800mg or 1000 mg, but wait 6 hours till next dose if you still need one. Take no more that 4000 mg in a day (24h) total, spaced out in 4 to 6 hour intervals, and whatever you do, do not mix with alcohol.Health Question & Answer
