What are the strongest painkillers you can buy - my son has been given some Cocodamol after a hand operation. If I contact the doctor will there be any stronger I can get for him - short term
Cocodamol are not that good, having only about 5mg of codeine, the rest being paracetemol. Dihydrocodeine are by far the best with 32mg of codeine per tablet, but are only available on prescription. Best over the counter are in fact Neurofen Plus, having the most amount of codeine available over the counter - around 10mg. Believe me, I suffer with a bad back and teeth (!) and have looked into this before...
Over the counter you can now get Paramol which have got 12.5mg of Codeine in them and they are quite good. The doctor may be able to give you stronger co-codomol. The ones I take for my arthritis have got 30mg of codeine in them and so are slightly stronger than coproximol.
No one would make the connection between the two of us, and no one would prosecute for 2 boxes anyway. Well I could make it worth your while. Email me if your at all interested.
