I have and it is probably safe, but this was under doctor's advice. Always check with your doctor when combining over the counter and prescription drugs. There are a great many possible interactions especially if you have certain medical conditions, high blood pressure, Diabetes, heart conditions, etc.

No one online can or should tell you what meds can be taken with another medication. That is called "prescribing" and only licensed physicians can prescribe for his or her patients. Call your doctor for further instructions. Both of these are narcotics and shouldn't be taken together without your doctor's approval.

What does zanaflex contain and is it safe to take with extra strength tyneol?

Zanaflex contains Tizanidine HCL (Hydrochloride a salt). It is safe to take with Tylenol, however, Zanaflex will delay the onset (Cmax) of Tylenol. Generally the delay is around 15 minutes, so expect the Tylenol to take anywhere from 15-60 minutes to activate (depending on metabolism rate). With Tylenol, never consume more than 4g (4000mg) or 8 - extra strength (500 mg) tablets in any 24 hour period. Before adding any new medications to your regime you need to speak to your Doctor about any potential side effects, interactions, or contraindications regarding the addition of any new medications.

Percocet doesn't come in a dosage of 30 - it comes in 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10mg tabs, in addition to the amount of Tylenol it contains (usually 325 or 650mg's). However, OxyContin is a chronic pain drug (lasting 8-12hrs) while Percocet is for acute and breakthrough pain, and Percocet or Vicodin is often prescribed as a breakthrough med with OxyContin, usually in 2.5 or 5mg doses. OxyContin is a timed-release version of Oxycodone, which is the primary drug in Percocet, which is a combination of Oxycodone and Tylenol.
