General Information: Codeine with Tylenol is an opioid analgesic,
is used to treat mild to moderately severe
pain. It combines two drugs acetaminophen
and codeine. Acetaminophen, an antipyretic
fever reducing analgesic, is used to reduce
pain and fever. Codeine works by binding to opioid
receptors in the brain and spinal cord, and acetaminophen decreases the
formation of prostaglandins, therefore relieving pain.
