A member asked:
Dr gave me cough syrup with codine an hour ago can i still take a tylenol (acetaminophen) 3 with codine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't advise it: Unless your physician who gave you the cough syrup with codeine, knew you were also taking tylenol (acetaminophen) #3, you should not take both. Each tablet of tylenol (acetaminophen) #3 contains 300 mg of tylenol (acetaminophen) and 30 mg of codeine. While these are not high doses, when taken in combination with cough syrup that may contain tylenol (acetaminophen) and certainly codeine, you may be taking too much. Check with your physician first.
