Tylenol 3 is a compound analgetic that consists of 30mg codeine phosphate and 300mg acetaminophen (paracetamol). The maximum dose of acetaminophen for adults is 1000mg at a time, and 4000mg daily. It equals three pills or gelcaps, etc, of Tylenol 3 at a time, and no more that 13 doses of Tykenol 3 during the day.

1-2 every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. Do not take any more Tylenol since it is already in there, take ibuprofen.

Is it bad to take 3 Tylenol pills?

The maximum dose of acetaminophen for adults is 1000mg at a time, and 4000mg per day. Tylenol 3 contains 300mg of acetaminophen. That makes up to 13 Tylenol 3's during the day. But Tylenol 3 contains 30mg of codeine, and they do not recommend to take more than 240mg of codeine daily. That makes 8 Tylenol 3's all in all at maximum. If you need more acetaminophen, you may try to replace Tylenol 3 with Tylenol 2 or Tylenol 1 (15mg and 8mg of codeine respectively).But, of course, the less you use the better.


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.
