Preparations

Canada

AC&C is a related preparation of ASA, codeine phosphate, and caffeine in tablet form. The caffeine is intended to counteract drowsiness which may be caused by the codeine.

AC&C is available in different formulations containing varying amounts of codeine. Formulations containing 8 mg or less of codeine ("AC&C 8" or "222") are typically available from pharmacies over the counter. A prescription is not required, but the medication must be requested from the pharmacist. The "222" and higher numbers refer to the codeine narcotic content numbers as follows:

• 222 – contains 7.5 mg codeine
• 282 – contains 15 mg codeine
• 292 – contains 30 mg codeine
• 293 – contains 60 mg codeine
