-codeine at 60mg is not effective for dental pain
-acetaminophen alone (600mg) beats codeine even though its not a COX-1/COX-2 inhibitor.
THUS, codeine alone is not superior to acetaminophen, BUT when the two are combined (codeine + acetaminophen, as in Tylenol III) we have increased analgesia as compared to either product alone.
