Crushed Tylenol

Hey Guys I am 1 week and 1/2 out and still have belly 'ache'. I do not want any more roxicet but tylenol helps a little. The problem is is tastes like crap. Any ideas how to get it in my stomach. I was mixing with appple sauce but it is just not cutting it. Yougert is worse.

Man, don't waste time with crushing it -- you can get it in liquid form at a drug store. That's what I did. On the other stuff, chewable vitamins, chewable (sugarless) Benefiber (if you get constipated).

DANG I am off to the drug store NOW!!!

Thanks Man!

Adult Cherry Tylenol Liquid Blast (or rearrange these words however you like!)

Works great; only problem is its expense -- I think you get 8 doses out of a bottle, but for a couple of weeks, it's worth it!

I started taking pills after 4 weeks or so; never ever had a problem with them.

What he said.  Tastes better and at least you can get it down.  Feel better and follow the rules.

Thanks guys. I got the kids grape and got the dosage from the phamacist.

The thing is I took it in the parking lot and thought it tasted too sugary. THEN I looked at the ingrediaents and it had high fructose sugar. I was freakin a bit. I did not dump as I feared but did not as I feared. Now I do not know what to do!

On an other rofum they said there was not enough sugasr to make me dump. Is that true??

The Adult Tylenol Cherry Liquid Blast contains high fructose corn syrup also, but it never ever made me dump.  (But in retrospect, I haven't ever dumped.)  If you think about it, the Roxicet syrup they give you post-op also contains sugar, too.

Most people seem to be able to take this stuff wihout problems.  I understand that there are Sugar-Free Tylenol and generic acetaminophen syrups, but there's rarely in stock on the shelves of most drugstores, and we usually need the stuff ASAP when we're looking for it!  But if you have a good pharmacist you trust, you could have them order some for you.

Another thing you might want to consider is a generic liquid acetaminophen prescribed by your Dr. My doc got me a prescription strength jumbo bottle of the stuff and it was like $4-$5.

The label reads, "Children's Q-Pap acetaminophen. It's cherry flavored (which I HATE!) and it's 16 oz bottle...

They have it in sugar free.

Thanks guys. For now I will take what I have while I look for other versions.
