Hi Kay,

I'm surprised you weren't informed about the constipation side affect of Tylenol with codeine. I am always reminded after every surgery even though I know it luckily doesn't affect me.

I do agree though that a notice should be put on the label to make people more aware of this.

Unfortunately, in your situation the outcome was terrible lets just hope something is done about it before others have to suffer the same consequence.

Take care
