Tylenol-Cod Side Effects, and Drug Interactions - Acetaminophen and Codeine
Tylenol-Cod Side Effects, and Drug Interactions - Acetaminophen and Codeine
The most frequently observed adverse reactions include lightheadedness,
dizziness, sedation, shortness of breath, nausea, and vomiting. These
effects seem to be more prominent in ambulatory than in non-ambulatory
patients, and some of these adverse reactions may be alleviated if the
patient lies down. Other adverse
reactions include allergic
reactions, euphoria, dysphoria, constipation, abdominal
pain, and pruritus.
At higher doses, codeine
has most of the disadvantages of morphine
including respiratory depression.
DRUG ABUSE AND DEPENDENCE
Acetaminophen and codeine
phosphate tablets are a Schedule III controlled substance.
Acetaminophen with codeine
phosphate oral
solution USP is a Schedule
V controlled substance.
Codeine can produce drug dependence
of the morphine type
and, therefore, has the potential
for being abused. Psychic dependence, physical
dependence and tolerance
may develop upon repeated administration
of this drug, and it should be prescribed and administered with the same
degree of caution appropriate
to the use of other oral narcotic-containing
medications.
DRUG INTERACTIONS
Patients receiving other narcotic
analgesics, antipsychotics, antianxiety agents, or other CNS
depressants (including alcohol) concomitantly with this drug
may exhibit an additive CNS
depression. When such combined therapy is contemplated, the dose
of one or both agents should be reduced.
The concurrent use of anticholinergics with codeine
may produce paralytic ileus.
