Brief Answer:
it's not...
Detailed Answer:
No, it's not a high dosage. The common dosage for TMP/SMX DS is twice daily. Tylenol with codeine is a good alternative (and safe for your stomach) for ibuprofen. Ibuprofen is a potent painkiller but it has more side effects.

Ok. What time frame should I take the tmp/smz Ds. It is twice a day. How many hours apart should I take it. Should I be worried about a lot of major side affects
Brief Answer:
every 12h
Detailed Answer:
Twice a day means every 12 hours. It is a usually well tolerated drug but - as every drug - it has a multitude of potential side effects. Most of the times the patient won't suffer any of them though. There are quite a few major side effects (thankfully very rare) like the Stevens-Johnson syndrome, allergic reactions, etc.
Kind regards!

How many hours apart for the Tylenol #3. It states one tablet 4 times a day.
Brief Answer:
every 4-6 hours
Detailed Answer:
Tylenol #3 should be given according to your symptoms. If the pain is tolerable you can even miss the next pill. Remember that this drug provides pain relief only. It's nothing more than that. It won't make your problem vanish sooner.
The highest daily total dose for paracetamol is 4000mg (it depends on body weight but 4000 is a good approximation for most adults) and 360mg for codeine. I would add that the less you use it, the better for you with the side effects (particularly from codeine) in regard.
The aforementioned dosage should be divided of course. You can take Tylenol #3 even every 4 hours if that is required to relieve your pain. Every hours means that you're going to take 6 pills which adds up to 1800mg of paracetamol and 180mg of codeine.

Do you feel the tmp/smz Ds will help with my costocondrtis inflammation
Brief Answer:
I don't believe so...
Detailed Answer:
You're welcome!
I don't believe that TMP/SMX will help. Costochondritis is usually treated with analgesics only. Perhaps your doctor suspected a bacterial infection, I can't say...
Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
