Question 2

can taking a tylenol 3 (acetaminophen and codeine) before getting a piercing help with the pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes: As a dentist, i can't prescribe for non-dental reasons.  Probably neither can an md.

Geez, what kind of piercing causes that much pain?  Consider a shot of whiskey instead!

Question 3

will taking a tylenol 3 (acetaminophen and codeine) before getting a migraine help with the pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes: As george bush would say, a preemptive strike can be a good thing. If you feel a migraine coming on, taking an analgesic isn't a bad idea although you might want to try something less toxic than codeine. Also there are migraine specific drugs (maxalt (rizatriptan) is an example of one) that are highly effective if you take them at the first hint of an incipient migraine. Good luck!

Question 4

my dentist prescribed me tylenol with codeine. ive never taken codeine before so i wanted to google it & what came up was that the fda has banned tylenol with codeine. why? & why is it still allowed to be prescribed if its banned?

Accepted Answer

: I am not sure if you got the right information. If a medication had been ordered and pharmacy filled it, the medication is not banned, especially a narcotic analgesic. In the USA, any medication which is not or no longer approved by FDA won't be available in the drug stores.
