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.

∙ 12y agoFrom what i understand the answer simply is Yes. My reasoning is as follows.
Three Tylenol 1's contain less acetaminophen then 2 pills of Extra strength Tylenol and contain less Codeine than one Tylenol 3.
If you take one Tylenol 3, you are ingesting more codeine phosphate then if you take 3 tylenols 1's.
If you take 2 extra strength Tylenol you are ingesting more acetaminophen then 3 Tylenol 1's.

∙ 10y agoIt is not bad to take Tylenol 3 as prescribed for a short time, when it is really needed. However, prolonged or excessive use of Tylenol is hard on the liver and kidneys. The codeine in this formula can also be addictive.
Basically, take it as it is needed, and quit it as soon as you are able. Your doctor will make recommendations to you for how long this should be.
