Question

14 year old to take two extra strength tylenols?

i weigh around 130, by the way.

Answer 1

This is what I would do in your situation: I'd go first with what the bottle label says. If I wanted to do anything different, especially when it involves a younger person, I'd check with a health care worker first. They would also take into consideration how much the 14 year old weighs. Ultimately I advise anyone with medication questions to only follow the advice of an actual health care professional. Medications can be dangerous when used incorrectly.

Answer 2

It depends upon how bad the pain is. Sometimes a Dr will prescribe super pain killers, and it won't hurt an adult. Many people are saying that that's too much medication, but really, it all depends. I mean, if you had a serious injury from a car wreck, the Dr would prescribe for you stronger medication than two extra strength Tylenols.

To be sure, ask your pediatrician.

Answer 3

Yes, adults and children 12 years and over may take 2 tablets every 4 - 6 hours as needed.

According to the recommended dosage on the bottle the answer is yes.
