When is the counter reset for painkillers?
I am currently taking paracetamol and you are only allowed to take 8 of these within 24 hours, but I am wondering when the counter will be reset and it will start again from the beginning when you are back at 0
Not 8 pieces. There is a maximum dose. Of drugs there are usually tablets in various dosages. In principle, the counter starts where you took the first tablet. So, for example, yesterday at 4:00. It will most likely not hurt you if you set yourself a time as a reset, which will not change after that.
I meant more I took about 6 or 7 tablets yesterday, the last one was this morning at 4:49 and the next one was just before 10 a.m. Is the counter set back after 5 hours and I can take the recommended daily dose again? I had an outpatient operation and therefore great pain and must take so many tablets
No, you’re sharing the time in 24 hours. For example, you could see what you’re going to sleep. And after getting up tomorrow, the counter is set back.
Thanks a lot
I think twice the dose is clear. I read that you’re still, so you better talk to a doctor. There is also the possibility to talk to doctors online on weekends. I’d advise you.
I weighed 93kg and I am 1.55cm tall. I think very well.
Depending on what you’re worried about and how you’re basically looking for medication.
With my 130kg, that would be unproblematic.
Thank you for your help. A short question. I’ll take 400 paracetamol, maybe I’ll take two together, or one half? Grade in the evening the pains are the worst
No, it’s not. I wouldn’t take pills at night in the hour. 5 hours are indeed a little short, but should not be so problematic.
Okay. Sleep was only 5 hours. So is the counter set back to sleep no matter how long you slept?
Normally you take a 6h break between taking pain tablets. And then one day gives maximum dose.
Paracetamol is 4000mg/day. So 8 tablets a 500mg.
So you can swallow 2 tablets every 6 hours.
However, the 24h rhythm shifts once you get to zb. Take your pills for 7 hours. Always after 6 hours at the earliest.
All good
One can take a dose every 6 hours (adult 2 tablets). Then you’re always in the counter. You don’t have to start your pills day at 0.00. That means 4x daily 2 tablets are okay. So if you take 2 every 6 hours, you took 8 in 24 hours.
achso you read still. I was operated on the arm during pregnancy and I took 8 pieces a day. You can also take Ibu and Paracetamol in exchange, then you can take something every 4 hours. But then of course not from both the daily maximum dose.
Thank you for your help
You just see how much you are in the each last 24 hours.
If the dose is not sufficient, you can also dodge on ibuprofen, so additionally.
Unfortunately, I can’t take it because I can’t pause/pump and so I can’t pause
Oh.
Paracetamol can only be taken at a distance of 6 hours.
