Subject: RE: BS: Pain Med Question???
Spaw, you're right. But the danger comes when Tylenol is added to the prescribed med. Folks tend to think it's pretty benign, and it is, but when you're taking 325 mg. every 4 hours (in the combo drug) you're half-way to 4000 mg limit. Taking two prescribed pills every 4 hours puts you right up against the limit. Reaching for plain tylenol when the combo fails is all too common.
