Yes, these are OK together. Cyclobenzaprine is a muscle relaxant and Tylenol is a pain reliever. You can take a muscle relaxant and a pain reliever together to relieve severe discomfort and cramping. Remember that the cyclobenzaprine is going to make you sleepy.

The drug in Tylenol 3 is codeine.

From Nost:


your question doesn't seem to be worded very well....


"tylenol 3 with codeine cyclobenzaprine"


it sounds like there is a drug called "codeine cyclobenzaprin" lol.. which doesn't exists. Anyway yes it is assumed Tylenol 3 has codeine in it. If your doctor prescribed both, and did not mention anything about the combination then yes you can combine them, there is no know interaction. Tramadol, which is another semi opiate painkiller should NOT be mixed with cyclobenzaprine. However when mixing T3's and this muscle relaxant be aware that they are both depresants which isn't a great thing so do not take more then prescribed.


Cheers.

This is a common combination prescribed to patients with muscle spasms and pain. Note that the side effects of each medicine greatly overlap (drowsiness, dizziness, sedation). Only a doctor or other provider can determine if this combination is safe for a given patient. If this combination has been prescribed to you, the medicines may be taken together as long as care is used to protect against slip-and-fall injuries, etc, which may be caused by overlapping side effects.

As with all prescription medicines, cyclobenzaprine and codeine should only be used (alone or in combination) as prescribed.

Is it safe to take Tylenol with codeine and oxycodone together?

If you were prescribed codeine by two different doctors, then you should ask a pharmacist or one of the doctors first before taking both of them. If the second doctor that prescribed the codeine to you doesn't know you're already taking it, then him prescribing it to you was an error. Taking two types of codeine together is effectively taking a larger dose. Taking too large of a dose of powerful drugs like codeine is dangerous. On the other hand, if a single doctor prescribed both to you, and told you to take both of them, then you probably should.
