A member asked:

I was prescribed tylenol-codeine #3, but was given #4 by my pharmacist. are there any significant differences between the two? been taking for 4 days.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Reduce taking them: There is more narcotic drug in No-4 compared to No-3. So you should take it less often or stop it completely as soon as your pain problem is resolved or is milder for which you can take plane tylenol (acetaminophen). it is good to get off narcotics after 2-3 days and switch to milder pain medicine like Tylenol (acetaminophen).
