I just got some of this shit, liquid acetaminophen and codeine elixir, it says o nthe bottle, yellow/orange or some shit, it doesnt say the MG on the bottle per ML, so If anyone can help out I would appreciate it, I have 200 ml, of it, and I need to know the dosages.
it's a darkish red color, cherry flavor I think, yellow/orange, 200 ml, and I mentioned the ML amount.
anyone know what mg this is?

i think the dosage on that is 120mg apap/12mg codeine per 5ml
where as the Tylenol#3 w codeine pills are 325mg apap/30mg codeine per pill
so 15ml of elixir = roughly 1 pill.
Hope that answers your question!:)

Yeah, it's obnoxious how pharmacies don't put the strength on the bottle for a lot of liquids. You can just call the pharmacy and ask, even if it's not your Rx, it's not like they're gonna ask your name.
Also, why does it say "yellow/orange" if it's darkish red?
I think the guy above me is right though.
"Tylenol with Codeine Elixir 120 mg/12 mg per 5 mL (1 tsp)--amber-colored, cherry-flavored liquid containing 7% alcohol" <--this is for brand name
