You probably mean Vicodin (Paracetamol Hydrocodone mix), in USA they're currently trying to ban it

On June 30, 2009, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advisory panel voted by a narrow margin to advise the FDA to remove Vicodin and another painkiller, Percocet, from the market because of "a high likelihood of overdose from prescription narcotics and acetaminophen products". The panel cited concerns of liver damage from their acetaminophen component, which is also the main ingredient in commonly-used nonprescription drugs such as Tylenol.[3] Each year, acetaminophen overdose is linked to about 400 deaths and 42,000 hospitalizations.
