Codeine is an opiate, in the same family with morphine, only weaker. They mix codeine with aceta. to assist in pain relief, but also to make you sick to prevent overdose. You will get sick from overdosing on the Tylenol before you take a lethal dose of codeine in an ongoing, abuse situation. Of course, you could still pop twenty pills in your mouth at one time and die from the codeine, but abusers only have so much tolerance for the Tylenol before getting nauseous on a day to day basis.

Yes. Tylenol#3 is a combination drug - acetaminophen plus codeine. Codeine is one form of opiate.

yes it is...This medicine is a combination of a narcotic and acetaminophen used to relieve mild to moderate pain. Narcotic pain-relievers work by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, and acetaminophen decreases the formation of prostaglandins, therefore reducing pain. This medicine may also be used to treat other conditions (e.g., cough) as determined by your doctor

codine is an opiate. if you were to take one of those you would fail a drug test for opiates. i learned that while on probation and would have went to jail if i wasnt perscribed them at the time.
