Internal Medicine Specialist 's  Response
5/325 of hydrocodone has 325 mg of tylenol/acetaminophen.
I would not recomend you take more than 3 gm of tylenol a day for any longer period and assuming that you do not have any liver dysfunction.
If you have pre-existing liver dysfunction or failure, you need to talk to your provider and need to avoid acetaminophen.
