Can you get tylenol with codeine without a script?!


Question: Do I need a prescription to get this? I have an ear ache and don't want to go to the doctor. My roomate (Who's in med school) says you can but are only allowed a certain amount from the pharmacy. Is this true?

My sister is a pharmacist and she says no.

It is a controlled drug. So no you cannot get it legally without a prescription.

Well there is a rumor that you can get one ounce of cough syrup with codeine. I'm pretty sure that you have to get a script for it. Try laying your head on a warm water bottle. there are drops you can buy to relieve the pain as well.

It's called Tylonol 3 (or T3) and it's only available with a perscription.

Unfortunately, no. Codeine is a narcotic- therefore you are going to need a prescription. The only thing though- if you have an ear ache, you probably have an infection so you will need antibiotics as well as a pain reliever. Best of luck!

It depends on where you live. I'm in the US & I know you can buy it legally in Canada, but bringing it back into the US isn't legal. There are also web sites that sell it & any other medication & a lot will write you a script over the internet. But this is not advisable. Especially not for an initial diagnosis. There's no point in masking your pain if you're not treating the problem. It'll just get worse & at first you won't know how much it worsens if you're deadening the pain, which is your body's indicator that there's a problem that needs to be adressed.

years ago you use to could buy cough medicine with codeine but not anymore.You can thank drug abusers for that.
