Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I am Dr.Barani and I am pleased to assist you.

Yes he can take Tylenol Cold & Flu Severe liquid with blood thinner medication Coumadin.

Tylenol Cold & Flu Severe liquid contains acetaminophen,dextromethorphan, guaifenesin and phenylephrine. None of these four medications have any MAJOR interaction with coumadin. So he can take it.
