The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to therapy. Taking more than 6 doses per day is not recommended. Use Talacen exactly as prescribed. Do not increase your dose, take it more frequently, or use it for a longer period of time than prescribed because Talacen can be habit-forming. Also, if used for an extended period of time, do not suddenly stop using Talacen without your doctor s approval. Talacen contains acetaminophen. Do not take more acetaminophen than recommended (see Side Effects section). When used for an extended period, Talacen may not work as well and may require different dosing. Talk with your doctor if Talacen stops working well. If you have recently taken narcotic pain medication (e.g., codeine, methadone, morphine) for an extended period of time, Talacen may cause withdrawal-like symptoms (e.g., sweating, chills, tremors). For details, consult your doctor or pharmacist. Side Effects Drowsiness, dizziness, nausea/vomiting, headache, or constipation may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor.

Acetaminophen is an ingredient in many nonprescription products and in some combination prescription medications. Read the labels carefully before taking other pain relievers, fever reducers or cold products to see if they also contain acetaminophen. Consult your pharmacist if you are uncertain if your other prescription or nonprescription products contain acetaminophen. (Also see adult maximum daily dose information in Side Effects section).

Ask your pharmacist about the safe use of these products. Do not start or stop any medicine without doctor or pharmacist approval.
