urenthesage Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Ok, heres the situation. Ive extracted codiene from Tylenol 1's but its absolutely unusable, the bitterness of the solution is such that Im looking for any advise on how to get rid of the wreched acetaminophen. Sodium hydroxide works with A,C&C because aspirin is nearly insoluable while codiene phosphate is very soluable. Right now, getting AC&C is virtually impossible on account of a supply shortage. ANYWAY, getting back on point, if NaOH cant be used to destroy and remove the acetaminophen what would be my next step? is there a chemical way to get rid of this accursed acetaminophen? or can the codiene be isolated from the acetaminophen?

imatfaal Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 ! Moderator Note Codeine is a Part II Class B Drugs controlled drug under the misuse of drugs act 1971 in the UK I think the upshot of that legislation is that pharmacy prepared mixtures and solutions are legal to possess - but that possession of non-pharmaceutically prepared substances without a valid prescription could be illegal. As such I do not believe that it is a valid and proper discussion for our boards - thread locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
