I'll keep it short. <p>Do they sell Tylenol with Codine over the counter in Canada? <p>A friend said they do, I didn't think so.<p>Elizabeth

I AM Canadian, and I do recall getting this over the counter in the PAST... not sure if they still do sell it over the counter. WW got some of this directly from a doctor after a wisdom tooth extraction gone bad a year or so ago.

I've always had to get mine with a prescription, but I have a whole bunch left over from my last surgery, and some percocet as well. I have a fairly high pain tolerance and didn't need them. [img]images/icons/wink.gif" border="0[/img]

I too am in Ontario... but the last I can remember, a prescription was necessary for Tylenol with coedine.<p>I know for certain that "Tylenol 3's" have coedine in them, and they DEFINITELY need a prescription. However, years ago when I had my wisdom teeth pulled, I was given a prescription for plain ol' Tylenol w/ coedine.<p>Do you have a Shoppers Drug Mart or other pharmacy in town that you could call? They'll be able to tell you over the phone. OH! Try your local Wal-Mart pharmacy... they're everywhere now, aren't they? hehehe [img]images/icons/wink.gif" border="0[/img] <p>Karen

Now here's a subject I am an expert in.<p>You can definitely buy Tylenol w/ codiene over the counter. No prescription neccessary in Canada. I was hooked on these things for years due to chronic migraines.<p>They are cheaper to buy as generic -- acetaminophen 300mg w/codeine 8 mg and caffeine 15mg. U can get bottles of 30 - 50 - 100 - or 200.<p>Don't take them while drinking or your liver will jump up and smack you. Also consider this drug combo addicting as it certainly is - I am living proof.<p>Hope this helps. Go Canucks!

Cool, now I have tons of information. <p>Topie, If I called my Wal Mart and asked for T#3 over the counter they would laugh at me. I live in the states.<p>Luvmydogs2- Want a new best friend?<p>veryhurth, I have migraines too, it really sucks, and my doctor will only give me a few (6) a month. Now, knowing what migraines are like, 6 a month is not going to do a whole heck of a lot right?!<p>It would be really cool to have a few handy just in case you know?! I am very careful about addiction, I do a detox from all analgesia every 3 months. It's not fun, but it keeps me on my toes. <p>Thanks all for your input. If I decide to head up to Canada I'll let y'all know.<p>Elizabeth

There are precious few questions I really know the answers to. So, when there is one, I have to answer; even if others have already answered.<p>Yes, Tylenol 2 (with codeine) is available without a prescription. However, many drugstores hold them behind the pharmacist's counter; so you actually have to ask for them. That gives the pharmacist a chance to explain that they have codeine and give a little chat about the effects. And the non-brand name is cheaper, although not all stores have the non-brand name.<p>Okay, next question I can answer, please. [img]images/icons/wink.gif" border="0[/img] <p>OneDay
