codeine
No, they are not. They both contain a narcotic analgesic combined with the nonnarcotic analgesic acetaminophen (Tylenol). Lortab contain hydrocodone and acetaminophen and Tylenol #3 contain codeine and acetaminophen. A drug test would screen for both codeine and hydrocodone.
Yes, it seems to have a maximum of 10mg per pill, along with tylenol or aspirin and caffeine. Rokacet, Rokal both have 10 mg of codeine and are over the counter. There is also another drug that over the counter drug with 12 mg of codeine per pill along with tylenol, but the name escapes me. No pure ITCH codeine, it seems...
There are no over the counter codeine cough syrups in the United States. Codeine is an opiate and considered a controlled substance in the USA. I am sorry but your answer is incorrect. Cough syrup containing codeine can be purchased in Tennessee buy asking the pharmacist for the medication. I sell this product on a daily basis or at least when I can keep it in stock.
Ah. It's a painkiller, and an effective one. In many a great country, it is an over the counter component in many medications. The United States is often not so enlightened. A personal aside: I was so sick today that without codeine I would not be typing this now. You know what? There's my first codeine-inclusive sentence for you. Here's another: Acetaminophen is a far more dangerous drug in quantity than is codeine.
"Class" is a bit ambiguous."Tylenol 2" refers to a specific brand and formulation of acetaminophen (paracetamol) and codeine. Acetaminophen is an analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer). Codeine is a narcotic (it also has other properties, such as being an antitussive (cough suppressant)).Codeine itself is a Schedule II drug, but when mixed with acetaminophen, it is usually classified as Schedule III (mixing it with acetaminophen reduces the abuse potential, because acetaminophen is toxic to the liver in doses much above the recommended therapeutic dose; this keeps people from just taking many Tylenol 2 pills to obtain a large dose of codeine).
Only Tylenol #3 which can only be accessed through doctors permission. ---------------------------- Nope. If the Tylenol (or acetaminophen) has a number (#1, 2, 3, or 4) it has increasing doses of codeine - Tylenol #1 has 8mg (with the 325mg acetaminophen), #2 has 15mg, #3 has 30mg (the most often used), and #4 has 60mg per tab. All are Controlled Substances in the U.S., Schedule III. Permission doesn't enter into it - they all require a prescription with DEA number, or in some states a special controlled drug form. They can be prescribed by phone, unlike Schedule II (morphine, Ritalin etc.). Canada allows their #1 version to be sold over the counter. Happy pain relief. --OLD MD
