What is Codeine?
Codeine is an opiate and prodrug of morphine mainly use to treat pain, coughing, and diarrhea. It is also commonly use as a recreational drug. It is found naturally in the sap of the opium poppy, Papaver somniferum. meaIt is typically use to treat mild to moderate degrees of pain. Greater benefit may occur when combine with paracetamol (acetaminophen) or a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) such as aspirin or ibuprofen. Evidence does not support its use for acute cough suppression in children. In Europe, it is not recommend as a cough medicine in those under 12 years of age. It is generally consume by mouth. Meanwhile it typically starts working after half an hour, with maximum effect at two hours. Its effects last for about four to six hours. Codeine exhibits abuse potential similar to other opioid medications, including a risk of habituation and overdose.
What is codeine use for?
Pain: Codeine is use to treat mild to moderate pain. It is commonly use to treat post-surgical dental pain.
Weak evidence indicates that it is useful in cancer pain, but it may have increased adverse effects, especially constipation, compared to other opioids. The American Academy of Pediatrics does not recommend its use in children due to side effects. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) lists age under 12 years old as a contraindication to use.
Cough: Codeine is used to relieve coughing. Evidence does not support its use for acute cough suppression in children. In Europe, it is not recommended as a cough medicine in those under 12 years of age. Some tentative evidence shows it can reduce a chronic cough in adults.
Diarrhea: It is use to treat diarrhea and diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome, although loperamide (which is available without a prescription for milder diarrhea), diphenoxylate, paregoric, or even laudanum are more frequently use to treat severe diarrhea.
It s used for the short-term relief of mild to moderate pain. It should only be use when other forms of non-opioid pain relief have not been successful in managing pain. In general, if an opioid medicine is in need for pain relief, opioid medicines other than codeine are prefer, as they are more effective for most people.
Some people will not experience pain relief from codeine because their bodies are unable to process the medicine. This is due to a genetic difference, which is more common in Caucasians. Other people have a genetic difference that makes them process codeine faster; this can lead to higher doses of codeine accumulating faster, and an increased chance of side effects.
Codeine is not usually recommend for the treatment of chronic pain.
Codeine may also suppress (reduce) a dry cough.
How does it work?
Codeine works directly on the central nervous system and reduces feelings of pain by interrupting the way nerves signal pain between the brain and the body.
It also suppresses the activity in the brain that controls coughing.
