Medical Assistance, to be precise.

NO. Not for me, I have my pills already. It’s actually research for a fic. I just need you to give me names of over-the-counter drugs. Pain meds. Whatever you guys have available to you over there. I live in the UK so I’m not clued up on what you can or can’t buy over-the-counter. I need names…

Codeine?

Paracetamol- Tylenol (and they have a bunch of different products for slightly different audiences/tasks: for kids, Tylenol PM which has a sedative, etc http://www.tylenol.com/ has a list of products)

I don't think codeine is available over the counter in the US - at least according to my sisters' reactions the last time I was over.

Excerdin is an aspirin brand, they have a fab product called Excerdin Migraine (aslo branded as Excerdin Extra Strenght, but chemically the same), which is a mix of asiprin, paracetamol (though its often just called acetaminophen in the US and listed as such on packaging), and caffiene. It's good stuff.

Can't tell you about the other stuff, sorry!

You're welcome honey!

If you give me an idea of what type of pain you're "treating" in your story, I might be able to help more.

And yes, WINCHESTERS!
