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!
