most helpful answer great question! sorry to hear about your concussion though. i hope you've been taking things easy as your brain heals. tylenol (generic name: acetaminophen) with codeine is fine to take even if you have a concussion. in fact it's a better choice than something like ibuprofen because tylenol with codeine does not thin the blood. by the way your concussion symptoms should clear up by the three-week mark. if you're still experiencing any symptoms at that time it would be a good idea to get checked out by a health care provider to make sure you didn't hurt your head worse than you thought. also whenever you have a question about a medication's usage you can call and speak to a pharmacist. if he or she can't give you specific information (such as the safety of taking tylenol-iii when you have a concussion) feel free to call your primary care provider's office and ask to speak with a nurse there. they're always happy to help. best wishes to you!
can you take tylenol and codeine #3 while you have a concussion? . my doctor prescribed me with tylenol and codeine #3 for a reoccuring stomach problem ive had over the past 5 years. i got a concussion two weeks ago and today i just happen to be experiencing my stomach problem. i am wondering if it is ok to take this medicine while concussed. thanks
