Tylex ,paracetamol and codeine. (500 mg of paracetamol and 30 mg of codeine?)
I believe paracetamol is pretty much the same as acetaminophen. We get something similar over-the-counter in Canada but not sure about Mexico. Acetaminophen 300mg. Caffeine 15mg. Codeine 8mg. (not a brand name item – many manufacturers). Tylex is stronger but you can take more if you know you can handle it. Strength can vary. If they are OTC in Canada they may be in Mexico too.
Also, depends on what you want them for. We also get a medication called Robax OTC in Mexico and Canada (cheaper in Canada) which are specifically for back pain – Metocarbamol 500mg. (muscle relaxer) with either Ibuprofen 200mg. or Acetaminophen 500mg. (may even have aspirin) – can have other brand names and varying strengths of any of the ingredients – but the main ingredient is the Metocarbamol. We have found nothing that works better for back pain.
These are probably prescription in the US but not Canada or Mexico.
Vicodin or similar are stronger but controlled everywhere – the name comes from the roman VI for 6 and codeine – meaning Vicodin is 6 times stronger than codeine. Prescription only.
We are getting off the “twilight” dentist topic – sorry.
