Brief Answer:
Considerations.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for the query.

This is a medication that is available via prescription only as it is a controlled substance. It is not generally available over the counter.

In order to obtain this and most other strong pain medications, a visit with a physician and a prescription is required.

Thank you again for sending your question.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the Followup.

I don't know of any place where cocodamol is available over the counter for purchase.

Ibuprofen or acetaminophen might provide similar relief but you should talk with your doctor before taking any medication.
