    Because Tylenol 3 has fda approval and ibuprofen with codeine does not. There is ibuprofen with codeine in the UK. The motive is cost savings, pure and simple.

      Interesting...

      Are OTC formulations subject to the same FDA standards as prescription? Like does Vicks have to seek separate FDA approval for every NyQuil?

        No, so long as the components adhere to an already approved OTC monograph each new formulation doesn't require a separate approval.
