Brief Answer: Yes you can take both drugs together Detailed Answer: hi, thanks for your question. yes you can take Tylenol and OxyContin together. they are different drugs with different mechanisms of action but together they will both help to reduce your pain. take no more than 4g of Tylenol in one 24 hour period or 1g every 6hrs. best wishes
