Is Tylenol 3 An Opiate

Updated

I am a hospice patient and was prescribed 1 - 2 tylenol #3 every 4 hours. I was wondering if this is a strong opiate? I would like to be as comfortable as possible but also keep my mind active and alert.

Tylenol 3 contains Acetaminophen and Codeine, which a very mild opiate. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.

Are you on any other medications?
