Dr. Thomas Miller answered

Specializes in Anesthesiology

Chronic pain: Tylenol (acetaminophen) 4 contains codeine which at most is a 4 hr pain med. If your pain is chronic 24hr pain u should discuss other options with a pain specialist as we have many long acting choices without tylenol (acetaminophen)
