介绍
对乙酰氨基酚和萘普生以不同的方式进行控制,以控制疼痛,几乎没有重叠的副作用。对于大多数人来说,可以一起使用它们。但是,重要的是要了解每种药物的工作方式不同以控制您的疼痛。这里有一些技巧,可以帮助您安全地将这些药物放在一起,以及您应该知道的警告和其他信息。
萘普生和对乙酰氨基酚都有助于减轻发烧并缓解轻度至中度疼痛。这些类型的痛苦的例子包括:
- 喉咙痛
- headaches
- body or muscle aches
- 月经来潮
- 关节炎
- 牙痛
The drugs do different things to relieve this pain. Naproxen blocks the formation of substances that cause inflammation. Reducing inflammation then helps to reduce pain. Acetaminophen, on the other hand, doesn’t reduce inflammation. Instead, it reduces the sensation of pain. It works by blocking the release of substances in the brain that cause pain sensation.
一次只开始服用一种缓解疼痛药物是一个好主意。您可以服用一种药物,然后在添加一秒钟之前先看看它的工作原理。
对乙酰氨基酚, depending on the strength and type, can be taken as often as every four to six hours. Naproxen, depending on the strength and type, can be taken as often as every eight to 12 hours. Products marked “extra strength” or “all-day relief” should not be taken as often.
如果您服用两种药物,则不必调整药物剂量或在不同时间服用。也就是说,交替服药可能有助于缓解疼痛。例如,如果您服用萘普生剂量,则不能再服用八个小时。但是,五个小时,您的痛苦可能会再次困扰您。在这种情况下,您可以服用一些对乙酰氨基酚来潮一次,直到下一次萘普生。
尽管这两种药物通常对大多数人都安全使用,但您应该牢记某些安全考虑。让自己意识到这些考虑因素,以帮助避免滥用这些药物。
萘普生
萘普生may cause allergic reactions, skin reactions, and severe stomach bleeding in some people. Using more than recommended or using it for longer than 10 days can also increase your risk of heart attack or stroke.
如果您是萘普生的严重胃血出血更为常见:
- 60岁以上
- 有溃疡或出血问题
- take other medications that can cause bleeding
- 每天喝超过三种酒精饮料
- take too much naproxen or take it for longer than 10 days
对乙酰氨基酚
The biggest consideration when taking acetaminophen is the possibility of overdose. Acetaminophen is a common ingredient in many different over-the-counter products, so it can be easy to take too much without even realizing it.
An acetaminophen overdose can cause serious liver damage. To avoid this, you should understand your limit for acetaminophen. Generally, people shouldn’t have more than 3 g of acetaminophen per day. You can talk to your doctor to find out the specific limit that’s right for you. Then, keep track of how much acetaminophen you take by reading all medication labels. It’s often best to use only one medication that contains acetaminophen at a time.
Interactions
萘普生and acetaminophen don’t interact with each other. However, they both may interact with other medications such as warfarin. If you take warfarin or another type of blood thinner, be sure to check with your doctor or pharmacist before you use either acetaminophen or naproxen.
不应服用萘普生或对乙酰氨基酚的时间超过10天,以治疗疼痛,并且不应服用超过三天的药物来治疗发烧。服用比建议的时间更长的时间或高于建议的剂量可能会增加您的副作用风险。但是,将它们放在一起通常是安全的。
Pain or fever that hasn’t improved may be a sign of a condition that requires a different treatment. If your fever lasts for longer than three days, contact your doctor.
