They may cause more drowsiness when combined together. Please ask your doctor before doing it

Yes you can take both at the same and should be safe. I always recommend trying these types of medications when you can be home as they can make you feel different and need to be careful. Tylenol #4 should only be taken for as long as you really need it as it can have addictive properties if taken for too long.

Yes, but they both cause drowsiness. Do not drink or drive or do anything that requires you to be alert while on this medication. Pay attention to directions. If it says as needed. Do not take around the clock. Only use it when indicated.
