Liquid tylenol

[higher 966]

Does anyone know if there is an appropriate version of adult liquid acetaminophen available in the US? I am 3 days post op and am efforting to stop taking the prescribed Tylenol w/ codeine during the day. My surgeon recommended children's Tylenol and I just took a dose of that but noticed that it contains high fructose corn Syrup which I would rather avoid.

I tried looking on Tylenol's website and didn't see any adult liquid options that didn't also include decongestants.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Might try asking your local pharmacist about a liquid acetaminophen (generic tylenol) that is suitable for diabetics (so no sugars). I've found pharmacists to be incredibly awesome at knowing the best solution to this type of thing.

Good idea! I'll ask my favorite pharmacist today.

I have gotten not Adult liquid Tylenol and adult generic at CVS. You may have to ask for help at the pharmacy if you can't find it.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Pharmacist wasn't able to come up with a diabetic offering but I'll try a much better pharmacy tomorrow. Not sure I really need pain meds much more anyway but worth investigating. The adult generic liquid acetaminophen they carried also contained high fructose corn Syrup.

See what is in the liquid gel tabs. I popped on to take it was not sweet. They are also adult dose.

The Walgreens and rite aid versions I saw today both had high fructose corn Syrup. I'll keep looking though.

Have you tried just taking a tablet?

That would be so much easier! But I'm only 3 days post op and my surgeon hasn't cleared me for pills yet. Honestly I'm not even in pain anymore and don't really need it but wanted to see the issue through. I think it's weird that there's no non sugary liquid acetaminophen readily available.

What about crushing a tablet? And again I would add the gel tabs can be popped open and their liquid is not sweet. When I was discharged they gave me pill crusher.
