Yes: Each pill contains 500 mg of paracetamol and 30 mg of Codeine phosphate. Paracetamol, also known as acetaminophen, is non addictive but high doses can impact your liver. It is the codeine, an opiate, which is easy to get dependent on within weeks. Codeine is not a strong opiate but some people then find they are taking higher doses to compensate which is not wise or safe. Ask for other choices.
