Yes, but your doctor is the one to ask. You can take it every 4 hours but that does not mean you can take six a day, the effect might build up. Pharmacists are also a good source for answers on medication. They often give more complete and understandable answers than the docs.

How long after taking Tylenol should you wait before taking Darvocet?

Since Darvocet has Tylenol in it, you cannot take them within 4 hours of each other. Try alternating Darvocet with ibuprofen - take the ibuprofen every 6 to 8 hours, and if you need Darvocet, take it at least 3 hours after the ibuprofen. That way, you won't get too much Tylenol, but it will relieve your pain better.


How long after getting a prescription filled for Darvocet is the drug legal to take if the directions say take as needed?
