Does Taking Tylenol Cause Allergic Rashes On The Body?

I have been allergic to opioids. However, I just got Tylenol with Codeine today. Took the first pill tonight and after 3 hours, I don t seem to be having an allergic reaction. Is this a normal exception for a person who got terrible hives ad rashes to Vicodin, Percocet and Hydrocodone previously? Oh, I was diagnosed with a pinched nerve in back a few years ago.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Tylenol is having acetaminophen. It is non steroidal anti inflammatory drug (NSAIDS). It is not an opioid analgesic. So you will not get allergic reaction to Tylenol because it is not opioid. So no need to think too much. Continue Tylenol without any fear of allergy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
