Can you buy our pain narcotics that we have here in the USA in Cananda Over the counter?

Question

all my life i have heard this and that about it and always have been curious. dont think i am about to drive there if you can but if you can there i bet its a real problem.

Answer 1

Tylenol 1's and 222's can be bought without a prescription in Canada.  Both of these pills have 8 mgs of codeine just the Tylenol 1's are acetominophen based and 222's are aspirin based.  They are not out on display and you have to ask the pharmacist for them.

The next level of pain pills would be Tylenol #2's which have 15 mgs of codeine and a prescription is required.

Answer 2

No. For a while, you could buy the equivalent of T-2s over the counter, I heard that this may not be the case any more.

Any how, anything stronger than that is and has been Rx only.
