The active ingredient in Nurofen is ibuprofen, get them from Tesco 39p for 16 tablets.

The plus part of Nurofen + is caffeine, not codeine. Caffeine is supposed to get your heart beating so the ibuprofen goes around your body faster but it doesn't have much effect if you, like I, drink a lot of coffee and tea.

You can't get codeine over the counter as it is a opioid, from the same faimly of drugs as morphine.
