Acetaminophen; Codeine Administration

Oral Administration

• Administer with a full glass of water. May be taken with food or milk to minimize GI irritation.
  
• Acetaminophen-codeine should be titrated to the dose required to relieve the patient’s pain keeping in mind the maximum daily dose of acetaminophen. Careful titration in opioid-naive patients is required until tolerance develops to some of the side effects (i.e., drowsiness, respiratory depression).
  
• Strengths of commercially available tablets do not correspond to the doses for antitussive use.
