How many Tylenol 1 pills would equal the relief of one Tylenol 3?

Answer 1

Tylenol 1 is 325mg Acetaminophen w/ 8mg Codeine and 15mg Caffeine.

Tylenol 3 is Tylenol #3: 300mg Acetaminophen w/ 30mg Codeine and 15mg Caffeine.

There is not really an "equal" seeing that you would be taking more than double the Tylenol to get nearly the same amount of codeine. It's really not safe to take excessive amounts of Tylenol.

Answer 2

Actually, Tylenol 3 and Vicodin each contain a different type of painkiller so it would be difficult to try and compare them to each other. Tylenol 3 has codeine in it and Vicodin contains a synthetic opiate called hydrocodone. Vicodin by its nature is a stronger pain medicine than codeine. but it would be difficult to try and figure out how many Tylenol 3s equal a Vicodin. Considering the way that physicians prescribe these medications, both of them would require a very similar amount, and the same goes for how often they should be taken - prescribing directions usually state that the patient take one or two tablet every four hours.

Now, as far as the codeine goes in the Tylenol medications, if you want to know how many Tylenol 3s would be equal to a Tylenol 4, that would be two. Same goes for Tylenol 1 and Tylenol 2. It would take two Tylenol 1s to equal one Tylenol 2, and two Tylenol 2s would equal one Tylenol 3. I'm not sure how the other ingredients in these medications compare to each other.

Answer 3

Neither, percocet contains oxycodone which is a completely different class of drug compared to tylenol.

Answer 4

I assume that by Tylenol 1, you mean over-the-counter Tylenol (acetaminophen). Tylenol 3 is acetaminophen and codeine phosphate 300mg/30mg and is only available by prescription.

Answer 5

300 mg
