Posted on Thu, 30 Jun 2016
Question: i don't take NSAIDS because of I am four blood pressure pills (in four categories). Will willow bark have the same negative effect or is there something (other than Tylenol) I could take with a minimum of interaction or side effects?

Brief Answer:
Oxycodone or Codeine

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

If someone of this nature and complexity comes to my clinic I would definitely put him on Acetaminophen plus Oxycodone (instant release) up to 5mg / codeine up to 60. You should also ask your doctor about a very low dose cymbalta kind of medicines which acts on pain threshold. If you are looking for immediate pain relief you can up the dose of Tylenol to 1000mg.
I am not sure about the pain relieving effect of willow bark and its interaction on the four BP pills that you take.

Please see your doctor to discuss about the same medicines.
