They're not marketed as 'codeine preparations' - usually as a more powerful version of a paracetamol/ibuprofen product such as Nurofen 'Plus' or Solpedeine 'Max'.Yes, adding paracetamol (one of the 'safest' drugs around)reduces the amount of opiate needed to get the same effect - ie opiate sparing.
