Hi Lar :-)
>The analgesic dose is less than the psychoactive dose, though.
I think a lot of people can't form enough morphine from 60mg codeine to even get a good analgesic effect though.
>Given this data, it seems absurd how often e.g. Tylenol 3 (30 mg codeine, 325 acetominophen/paracetamol) is prescribed for pain.
We don't have that combination! We've got co-codamol 30/500 (30mg codeine, 500mg paracetamol). All our paracetamol tablets are 500mg - usual dose two tablets four times a day, I think the Americans like low dose tablets for some reason, I guess it's the same in Canada.
Best Regards,
