What is the difference between Codeine Phosphate & Dihydrocodeine?
Codeine phosphate is a standalone medication that contains codeine, a mild opioid pain reliever, while co-codamol is a combination medication containing codeine and paracetamol (acetaminophen). Co-codamol is typically used for more moderate to severe pain, whereas codeine phosphate can be used for milder pain. Additionally, co-codamol is available in different strengths, depending on the ratio of codeine to paracetamol.
Codeine phosphate (the most common salt of codeine) is very _soluble_ in water including cold water.
Codeine phosphate hemihydrate is a combination of codeine, an opioid pain medication, and phosphate salts. The hemihydrate form indicates that it contains one water molecule for every two molecules of codeine phosphate. It is often used to treat mild to moderate pain and suppress coughing.
Codeine phosphate usually starts working within 30-60 minutes after taking it orally. Its pain-relieving effects can last for about 4-6 hours. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult a healthcare professional if you have any concerns.
Yes, you can take as much as you like up to about 300mg, after that a lot of factors come into play about jow many mg/kg of codeine will be toxic - health, tolerance, etc, Many over the counter medications aroud the world contain 500mg paracetamol / 12mg codeine and are quite safe.
The main difference is in the hydration state of the molecules. Codeine phosphate BP is the anhydrous form of the codeine salt, while codeine phosphate hemihydrate contains one water molecule per codeine phosphate molecule. This difference can affect properties like solubility and stability.
Dihydrocodeine
Codeine phosphate is a standalone medication that contains codeine, a mild opioid pain reliever, while co-codamol is a combination medication containing codeine and paracetamol (acetaminophen). Co-codamol is typically used for more moderate to severe pain, whereas codeine phosphate can be used for milder pain. Additionally, co-codamol is available in different strengths, depending on the ratio of codeine to paracetamol.
No, codeine and codeine phosphate are not the same. Codeine is an opiate used as a painkiller and cough suppressant, while codeine phosphate is a salt form of codeine that is commonly used in medications for pain relief and cough suppression. The addition of phosphate to codeine can affect its solubility and how it is metabolized in the body.
Codeine phosphate (the most common salt of codeine) is very _soluble_ in water including cold water.
No, codydromol and paramol are not the same. Codydromol is a brand name for a medication containing codeine and dihydrocodeine. Paramol, on the other hand, is a brand name for a combination of dihydrocodeine and paracetamol. Both medications contain dihydrocodeine, but differ in their other active ingredients.
no it isnt. codone is sort of a "suffix". its usually the end of a drug name, usually another opiate similar to codeine.
Paracetamol and Codeine Phosphate Hemihydrate.
Codeine phosphate hemihydrate is a combination of codeine, an opioid pain medication, and phosphate salts. The hemihydrate form indicates that it contains one water molecule for every two molecules of codeine phosphate. It is often used to treat mild to moderate pain and suppress coughing.
No. it will show up as dihydrocodeine. dihydrocodeine breaks down into dihydromorphone which is usually not tested for, but i took a 12 panel test from the local drug store and it tested positive for opiates. ;(
no it is not. penicillin is an antibiotic and codeine is an opiate.
