Well first the reason that the doctor told you not to take Tylenol is because the Tylenol thins the blood, causing the blood to clot less. If your blood clots less then you could lose large amount of blood when you get a cut or scrape. The reason for this is because when you get a cut or scrape and start bleeding the blood starts clotting at the surface creating a scab, which stops the bleeding. If the blood does not clot and create a scab then the wound will just keep bleeding until taken care of properly. Now depending on how long you have been taking a Tylenol pm every night depends on how long you need to let your heart recycle the blood and produce more platelets, which helps the blood to clot. I would say how ever many days in a row you have been taking a Tylenol, you should stop and give yourself the exact amount of days before you have the blood work done.

Can you take Ibuprofen with codydromol?
CODYDROMOL IS PARACETAMOL (a.k.a. acetaminophen, Tylenol) mixed with dihydrocodeine tartrate. It's basically a "boosted" Tylenol. Ibuprofen (a.k.a. Motrin) is also a pain reliever (non-narcotic), but it differs from Tylenol because it is an NSAID (having anti-inflamatory) properties. Before you mix both types of pills, you really should ask your doctor or your pharmacist.

Can you take Zyrtec and Tylenol PM together?
Because they both contain antihistamines, they will cause a reaction. Tylenol PM has the same antihistamine as Benadryl and it is not recommended that you take Zyrtec and Benadryl at the same time. Contact you doctor to verify if you can take your Zyertec in the morning (as usually prescribed) and the Tylenol in the evening. Zertec is a long acting antihistamine and should be out of your system before you go to bed. The Tylenol PM is a short acting antihistamine and would be out your system before your morning dosage.
