How much liquid Tylenol



Recommended Posts

is the right dose? I am on Lortab right now , but I will have to work on Monday (teacher) and I am not sure what the dosage amount on liquid tylenol would be. I may not need it, but as sore as I am right now I doubt I will be pain free by Monday!

The usual adult dose is 325 to 650 mg every 4-6 hours. It's not a good idea for anyone to translate this into liquid dosing for you, because different Tylenol preparations contain different dosing per mL--if the bottle you pick up is more concentrated than mine, it can spell liver damage.

The packaging will tell you how many teaspoons/mL translate to the appropriate dose.

I hope you feel better fast :(

They do have OTC adult strength Tylenol and the dosage is on the bottle. It has a dose cup on the lid.

I have the adult extra-strength liquid Tylenol at home and it says that 2 tablespoons (or one cap full of the little caps that comes with the bottle (not the lid itself)) is the same as 2 extra-strength Tylenol caplets or capsules.

That is what I take currently for headaches and such. Immediately following my surgery (meaning the first 10 days or so) my instruction sheet told me to take less, so I'd ask your doctor what his recommendations are if he hasn't indicated already.

Ya def ask doc, mine said adult strength liquid tylenol 2 tsp mixed with adult strength liquid motrin 2 tsp (and if can't find adult take 4tsp childrens each) the mix worked well, pain and swelling wise. Think the tylenol I got said "rapid blast" it tastes horrible, but worked and I couldn't find adult motrin so used the kids mixed w/adult tylenol! Good luck

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
