what for ## Paradol can be a couple of possbilities. In Tunisia, for example, it is a brand of medication containing the active ingredient Paracetamol, which is an over the counter pain reliever.

green hex shaped ## quiero saber los efectos de la paraforte ## @luis rios, Con base en mi investigación, Parafon forte (Chlorzoxazone) se utiliza para tratar el dolor y la rigidez causada por un espasmo muscular.

I'm trying to get the answer for what pill I have. I got the pill from Belize and was told it was Lortab 30mg but I'm not sure.

Please help me ID this pill. ## Also wanted to mention: this is a round white pill. With PARA. COD. 500/50 written on one side, and a line on the backside. any help is appreciated. ## Based on the abbreviations in the imprint code "PARA COD 500/50" I have reason to believe that the following applies: 1) The ingredients are most likely Paracetamol 500mg and Codeine 50mg. (hence the PARA COD abbreviation) This is a relatively common combination of ingredients used as a narcotic pain reliever. 2) This medication is most likely from outside the United States (since we use the term Acetaminophen here instead of Paracetamol even though they are the same thing). Also, the inscription did not match any of the standard ones in the FDA's database, and this does not appear to be one of...

which has more sedative properties paraflex or soma? ## Hello, Pat! How are you? Paraflex is listed by the FDA as containing Chlorzoxazone and Soma as containing Carisoprodol, both are classified as being muscle relaxants. Typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. And when it comes to potency and having some sedative like effects, Soma clearly wins out, to the point where its scheduling was recently changed and many doctors are trying to switch patients off of it and onto something different. Is there anything else I can help with?
