Panadeine

It is a white, round pill, it could be divided in half by a line that has been put down the middle of one side.
I believe it might be from over seas, possibly a New Zealand pharmacy, I need to know what it is and if it is a narcotic.
I found it in family member's things.
Any info would be a great help.. Thank, a concerned Dad..

REPORT

Panadeine is from Australia and New Zealand and is a combination of acetominophen (Tylenol) and Coedine, so yes, it could be considered a narcotic, especially since the same combo of drugs is highly monitored here in the US. If you try to order it through an online Aussie website, most will refuse to ship or customs will intercept it.

I took it when I was living in Australia - it's OTC there and greatly helped my migraines.

Panadeine
UNFORTUNATELY THIS PRODUCT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE
Panadeine is a powerful pain reliever designed to help you combat acute pain fast. Each panadeine tablet is a combination of two fast acting ingredients paracetamol and codeine. Panadeine fights pain on two fronts, targeting not only the actual site of the pain but also the pain sensors in the brain helping to dull sharp pain. Panadeine does not contain a calmative agent so can also be taken at any time of the day or night and is less likely to cause drowsiness allowing you to get on with your life.
Panadeine is available in packets of 120 tablets, each tablet containing 500mg of paracetamol and 8mg of codeine. Panadeine can relieve the discomfort associated with headaches, tension headaches, migraine, backache, period pain, arthritis, neuralgia, toothache, muscle pain, cold and flu, and it can also reduce fever symptoms. Panadeine is also suitable for asthmatics who are sensitive aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Panadeine is gluten, lactose and sugar free.
Directions:
Children over 12 years of age and adults: Take 2 tablets of Panadeine with fluid. Repeat this dosage every 3 to 4 hours as necessary for relief. Do not exceed 8 tablets in 24 hours.
Children between 7 and 12 years of age: Take one-half to one tablet with fluid. Repeat this dosage every 3 to 4 hours as necessary for relief. Do not exceed 4 tablets in 24 hours.
Caution:
Do not take Panadeine if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. You should not take Panadeine if you are pregnant or breast-feeding except under medical supervision. Prolonged use of Panadeine without medical supervision may be harmful. If symptoms persist, see your doctor. Carefully read packaging for any other possible restrictions. If you are currently taking other medications, especially those that contain paracetamol, or if you are unsure about any of the restrictions, then check with your doctor or pharmacist before you commence using Panadeine. Keep out of the reach of children.
