question about Codeine 8% for my mom

[GoddessofRATs]

Hey all.

My mom is in a lot of pain from a foot injury and can't get to the doc till next week (she lives in a small town) and she has two bottles of the 8% codeine from Canada, she has a whole bunch my uncle gave her after he passed through Canada from his home in Alaska. Anyway, she took one and it did nothing for her pain. I told her i am pretty sure she can take 3 at a time but i told her let me ask my friends on this forum about the max APAP. I don't want my mom to get liver damage.

So how many pills can she take of the 8% codeine pills from canada? I think they have 300 mgs of APAP. Isn't the max of tylenol 4000mgs.

I told her soon as i got an answer I'd e mail her with how many pills she can take at one time. I just don't want her to get her liver sick. She didn't even know you can take more than 1 LOL. She is very opiate naive, she knows nothing about oppies. I always have to explain her meds to her, that is if ans when she ever get any.

I want her to get some pain reliefe, she is in horrible pain. Since she has low tolerence i also don't want her taking to much codeine. She's only taken oppies meds a few times in her life.

Anyway, I'd really appreciate advice and answers. I did google but i couldn't find the exact max tylenol and i can't remember if it is 4000mgs max a day. I know a pharmacist told me that but i want to hear from you guys.

My gut says she could take 4 of them and be ok.

Thanks in advance my friends.
