Can Codeine Be Taken While On Warfarin?
I have RX for pain: APAP/CODEINE TAB 300-30MG, and was told it is a combination of Tylenol and Codeine. I ve not taken it. My concern is that it may interact negatively with one or more of the many meds I take for heart and lung conditions, including Warfarin blood thinner (have artificial mitral and aortic valves). Any suggestions? Thank you!

Warfarin doesn't interact with codeine. You can take codeine along with Warfarin with out any concerns. Monitor INR regularly while you are on Warfarin.
