If you are currently using any of these medications listed above, tell your doctor or pharmacist before starting pentazocine/acetaminophen.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all prescription and nonprescription/herbal products you may use, especially of:
- "blood thinners" (such as warfarin)

Ask your pharmacist about using those products safely. Consult your pharmacist if you are uncertain whether your other prescription or nonprescription products contain acetaminophen.
