If you miss a dose of Tylox (acetaminophen and oxycodone), take it as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and stay on your regular schedule. Never take a double dose to make up for a missed one. The typical dosage of Tylox is one capsule every six hours to treat moderate to moderately severe pain.
