Medication Question

[feelgoodagain 0]

Hi Ya'll, I have a quick question...Can we take Liq Motrin? I know we can do liq tylenol but, the Motrin I wasn't sure about. I have come down with a sore throat/infection and the Motrin is the only thing that will take the pain away.....???

Thanks! :thumbup:

I would check with your doctor. Mine said no NSAIDS, that's why only Tylenol. Yours may feel differently about that. Hope you feel better soon!

I was just banded yesterday and I would LOVE to take some liquid Motrin, but unfortunately I, too, was told to take only Tylenol. I do have a question, though. Do either of you know how MUCH liquid Tylenol to take?

2 Tblsp every 4-6 hours.

hello. when i was first banded i was on LORTAB every 6 hours and 6tsp of childrens motrin every 6 hours. i would alternate them. and now my doctor said i can take any liquid gels and so far they have done great. i had surgery on 4/16, so i'm almost 5 weeks post-op.

I was told by my surgeon, no Motrin before, but can after.

For liquid Tylenol, check the dosage of mgs and figure based on how much you take with tablets. If you're using childrens/jr's....the mg dose is lower than adults. I lookedinto it before surgery and saw I would have to take quite a bit to get my usual 1000mgs in. So I just took the tablets. It worked. Heck, they gave my Demerol tabs to go home with so why not??
