Is it a bad idea to take cough syrup and tylenol (acetaminophen) cold together?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cough syrup: What you have to look at is the toatl amount of Acetaminophen you will be taking in a day. Do not exceed 2-2.5gm per day. Also check how much alcohol is in both of them as well.
