Welbeck beds made easy my name’s to root today we’re going to be talking about something that you have seen all the time it’s everywhere it’s acetaminophen also then it’s tylenol to go through basics it should be a really really short video it is used for fever and pain so the low doses it’s great for fever even in higher doses it’s good for fever but to get pain
Relief you have to take it in higher dosages that’s one of the pain relief part comes in if you take like 500 milligrams won’t really our 325 won’t really help you with pain would you gotta take it 750 mm but really kind of see the effect you have to keep in mind four thousand milligrams is the highest dosage you can take in a bit do not think any more than that
You are risking overdose at that point and i’m going to get into it a little bit later in the video why that is now it’s as far as the fever part goes it works by in addition of the hypothalamus heat regulatory center so whenever the hypothalamus in your brain is what regulates our heat temperature this prevents it from rising temperatures in our body which is great
Because whenever you go get a flu shot something like that tend to run fever or if you’re coming down with a cold flu you take it feverish first this helps take the fever down as long as we can take the fever down the body works properly and it kind of kind of heal itself and then get rid of them whatever you got going on as far as the people goes in the it’s the
Activation of the the descending serotonergic and abyssion pathways so we have a pain pathway in our body this further down the line kind of cuts off the pain and it’s effective prefer for minor pain i wouldn’t say it’s great for a major or medium level pain but for a minor pain it doesn’t work if you can’t pick stuff like advil aleve things like that allottee you
Can take it with or without food generally it’s not really harsh on here your stomach at all but for the those that are sensitive who’s the stomach’s of early symptom you can take food with it definitely help you out there as well for women or pregnant is generally okay although we kind of just don’t like to do pregnant women medications we don’t have to but you
Know talk to talk talk through with it with your obgyn generally you can use it if you need it during pregnancy same thing with lactation whenever you’re breastfeeding there is a concept there’s a number of relative and findo star id associated with this medication so as long as there’s a threshold as long as the amount of acetaminophen doesn’t rise above that
In your breast milk which means that’s what’s going to the kids generally okay to take in your your your doctor will be monitoring those levels if you have to take this kind of long term renal issues unless you’re the severe renal failure you don’t really need to worry about adjusting dosages of this medication liver yeah you do have to watch for because it is
Heavily metabolized by the liver and i’m gonna get into that just in a little bit the onset of this thing is less than an hour so the capsules liquids tablets however you take them if they’re not extended release the immediate releases gentle kicking in about an hour time to peak is again in ten it was from 10 minutes to 16 minutes so very very quick acting which
Is why generally you can dose tylenol and like every four hours as needed be depending on what you have so it’s a quick-acting medication no list of side effects here i think we’re all pretty good about letting the public know about the dangers of sort of drinking on this medication and and and taking this medication so if you have a headache and these are if
You need to take any sort of pain reliever before you go to bed after a long night of drinking take a pill take a leave do not take comma because people have died in my past what happens is whatever you drink you back up your liver because your liver is with that just all that alcohol and seeing what they see in a minute so if you take a ton of tylenol and then
You’re simply backing up your liberal all of this work it’s eventually going to lead to toxic levels in your body and you will ob and i people have literally died from drinking a lot one night and then taking a ton of tylenol it’s happened several times google it so we want to bring be able to prevent that so guys that’s kind of it with this medication subscribe
