What meds have codeine?

Codeine shows up in several kinds of meds, usually in combo products rather than on its own. Availability and brand names vary by country, but here are the main categories and common examples:

- Analgesics (pain relief)
- Acetaminophen (paracetamol) + codeine: Tylenol with Codeine (brand names like Tylenol #2, #3, #4 in some places) and generic acetaminophen/codeine products.
- Paracetamol/codeine combinations sold under various brand names in the UK, Australia, Canada, etc. (examples include Co-codamol, Panadeine, Panadeine Forte in different markets).
- Aspirin + codeine: Empirin with Codeine; Anacin with Codeine (less common in newer formulations in some regions).
- Ibuprofen + codeine: Nurofen Plus (pain relief with ibuprofen and codeine) in some markets.

- Headache/migraine combos
- Butalbital/acetaminophen/caffeine/codeine variants (e.g., Fioricet with Codeine) used for headaches in some countries.

- Cough and cold meds (codeine as a cough suppressant)
- Guaifenesin + codeine syrups (e.g., Robitussin AC, Cheratussin AC in the US; brands vary by country).
- Promethazine + codeine (Phenergan with Codeine) for cough and cold symptoms in some regions.

Important safety notes
- Codeine is an opioid and can cause drowsiness, dependence, and breathing problems in some people.
- In many places, codeine-containing products are restricted or require a prescription or pharmacist‑supervised sale. Some countries limit or discourage codeine use in children and adolescents.
- People who metabolize codeine unusually quickly (CYP2D6 ultra-rapid metabolizers) can have higher risk of side effects or overdose.
- Avoid alcohol and be cautious with other sedatives; pregnancy and certain medical conditions require medical advice.

If you tell me your country/region and what you’re looking for (pain relief, cough, migraine, etc.), I can give you a more precise, region-specific list of meds that contain codeine.
