Can you take Tylenol 3 with codeine cyclobenzaprine together if your doctor prescribed them both or do you take them apart?

Answer 1

Yes, these are OK together. Cyclobenzaprine is a muscle relaxant and Tylenol is a pain reliever. You can take a muscle relaxant and a pain reliever together to relieve severe discomfort and cramping. Remember that the cyclobenzaprine is going to make you sleepy.

Answer 2

The drug in Tylenol 3 is codeine.

From Nost:

your question doesn't seem to be worded very well....

"tylenol 3 with codeine cyclobenzaprine"

it sounds like there is a drug called "codeine cyclobenzaprin" lol.. which doesn't exists. Anyway yes it is assumed Tylenol 3 has codeine in it. If your doctor prescribed both, and did not mention anything about the combination then yes you can combine them, there is no know interaction. Tramadol, which is another semi opiate painkiller should NOT be mixed with cyclobenzaprine. However when mixing T3's and this muscle relaxant be aware that they are both depresants which isn't a great thing so do not take more then prescribed.

Cheers.

Answer 3

This is a common combination prescribed to patients with muscle spasms and pain. Note that the side effects of each medicine greatly overlap (drowsiness, dizziness, sedation). Only a doctor or other provider can determine if this combination is safe for a given patient. If this combination has been prescribed to you, the medicines may be taken together as long as care is used to protect against slip-and-fall injuries, etc, which may be caused by overlapping side effects.

As with all prescription medicines, cyclobenzaprine and codeine should only be used (alone or in combination) as prescribed.
