In our latest question and answer, the pharmacist answers a prescription calculation question.
I was prescribed Tylenol 3 20 tablets on 12/16/17 I am suppose to take 2 tablets every 6 hours how long will this prescription last.
If taken as prescribed, 2 tablets every six hours would equal 8 tablets per day. Therefore, 20 tablets would last slightly over 2 days.
