Hello,

Many syrups sold on the shelves in pharmacies contain acetaminophen inside, which is the ingredient of Tylenol. Therefore, I recommend that you look at the list of medicinal ingredients in your syrup. If it contains acetaminophen, here are the precautions to take:

Your syrup should be taken at least 4 hours apart from your Tylenol for the day.
The maximum dose of acetaminophen per day is 4000 mg per 24 hours. Therefore, when calculating the amount taken during the day and the amount of your syrup, you should ensure that you do not exceed the maximum daily dose.

Hope to see you soon,

Sarah-Yan Chagnon, pharmacist

J'ai gradué de l'Université Laval en 2015. J'ai choisi le métier de pharmacienne car je suis une personne qui aime les défis et être challengée. Je vois dans l'initiative ''Question pour un pharmacien'' un moyen supplémentaire d'aider les gens et de combattre la désinformation sur internet. Les pharmaciens sont des personnes engagées ayant la santé de leurs patients à cœur. Il ne suffit parfois que de demander. Ainsi, n'hésitez-pas à poser vos questions ou à venir en personne à ma pharmacie. Au plaisir !
