I doubt it, but you will probably be able to buy it over the counter there. Cant you just take enough with you?

Thinking about it again, I think Coproxamol have just been banned here.

Hello there, Coproxamol have been taken off the market world wide as they cause patients to become suicidal. Co Dydromol are just as good and available on prescription.

You can still get them from the US or privately here in the UK but it's a lot of rigmarole. and a hell of a Google search and very expensive..As a long term arthritis sufferer taking them off the market was the worst thing for me .All the other things my GP prescribed were absolutely useless . Didn't even touch the pain.At least with coproxamol I was able to lead a more or less pain free life .Anything codeine based is no good to me either. Not everyone can tolerate it or Nsaids ..which is why Coproxamal was so good.So we suffer in silence and put up with the pain just because a few people have used them to commit suicide.
Used sensibly they DON'T make you suicidal I can assure you fran2 ....and I had been taking them responsibly for fifteen years Thank goodness the Arthritis Research Campaign are complaining about it and several MPs who also suffer with arthritis and have had their medication withdrawn.
If people want to commit suicide they go can from chemist to chemist and get enough paracetamol to do it . Because of people who don't value their own lives people like me have to suffer .
