"was prescribed tylenol #3 after double tooth extractions. the pain was handled well. dosage on the bottle was for every 6 hours, but was told. again by the dentist, that i could take it at 5 hour intervals if needed. was only prescribed 14 pills for short term use only. served it&#039;s purpose well. after 2 days, all that was left was soreness from the procedure, and that was handled with over the counter aleve."
