A member asked:
Can my husband take acetaminophen for his cold symptoms while he is on pain relievers for his recent back surgery? we have coricidin and suphedrine. which can he take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It : It depends largely, but not entirely, on whether the pain medications given to him for the surgery also have acetominophen in them. Many such pain medications will have some acetominophen in them, but others do not.
