I remember when my mrs was in hospital they gave both because one didn't affect the other? It's been a while and I may have it mixed up with something else as she was on morphine as well.
I remember once when I had serious toothache, I stuck a paracetamol next to the gum and let it dissolve. It killed the pain for good. Later found out that's a pretty fckin dangerous thing to do
You can get co-codamol and co-dyramol, both those I know contain paracetamol, but other than that don't know. I've taken paracetamol with coxib, but expect my doc would have a fit lol.
Why is that dangerous? Seems like something I'd do if I had toothache tbh.I remember once when I had serious toothache, I stuck a paracetamol next to the gum and let it dissolve. It killed the pain for good. Later found out that's a pretty fckin dangerous thing to do
It was years ago so I can't remember. I vaguely remember it's something to do with entering more readily into the bloodstream but I can't recall exactly.
I'd guess like Trebs said, something to do with putting it directly in the blood stream.
I really don't like toothache though might give it a go if needed.
It works
I did adapt it once after. Just got the soluble ones and swirled it round the mouth for a few minutes. Not as good but ok for a while.
Think @luvgonzo normally opens it up with a cheery “Morning”. Can be any time before about 11am UK time depending on whether he has to annoy punters with unsolicited phone calls first.
