Alcoh-pops are usually around 1.5 units each, so in theory the alcohol should have cleared from your system by four hours after. (The typical assumption is that one unit clears per hour). However, if your are much smaller than the average man (which is what that figure of "one unit per hour" is based upon), or have any liver problems which may slow the clearing of alcohol from your system, it's best to wait as long as possible before taking the codeine.

Having said that, mixing codeine with alcohol is unlikely to kill you. However you may feel very sleepy on the combination, and it increases the amount of liver damage sustained (compared to drinking the same amount of alcohol and taking the codeine once it has cleared from your system).

Can you take codeine and paracetamol together?

Yes. Paracetamol and codeine are a very good combination for pain killing. The recommended safe dosage is 1 to 2 paracetamol (500mg tablets) + 1 to 2 codeine (30mg tablets) every four hours. If ibuprofen is taken in combination, it may cause nausea, so it is best to be avoided.

Can i take ibuprofen before i am have a tooth extraction?

Yes, providing you don't have any problems with your stomach for example stomach ulcers. I know it sounds like common sense but always read the label and if you do have any medical conditions then check with the pharmacist to see if Ibuprofen is okay for you to take. If you have no medical conditions then you can take 400mg (2x 200mg tablets) 6 hourly, no more than 6 tablets in 24hours. Never take on an empty stomach or it will irritate the stomach. Ibuprofen is excellent if also taken with 1g of Paracetamol ( 4-6 hours apart, no more than 4g in 24 hours.) If the pain is not resolving then try either Paracetamol with small amount of Codeine or Ibuprofen with Codeine ( available over the counter or prescription). Be careful with Codeine. Although it may be a weak opiate, it can still be addictive and is best taken for a couple of days only. Codeine can also constipate you so drink plenty water. Codeine can also make you very drowsy so do not take with alcohol.


Can you take ibuprofen codine and paracetamol together?

You need to split the ibuprofen and the paracetamol by about 3 hours. These are both pain medicines - you don't want to take a bunch of pain medicines together. It is quite save, however, to take one, wait 3 hours, then switch and take the other. You can keep switching back and forth in this way until you feel better.The codeine I would be more careful with - it is OK to take this with one or the other of the other two drugs, but I would not take codeine any closer than every 4 hours.

You did one line of heroin two months ago will it show up in a hair follicle?

Heroin breaks down into codeine and morphine. Codeine breaks down into morphine. The opiate drug tests look for codeine, morphine, and 6-acetyl-morphine. The presence of 6-acetyl-morphine is relatively conclusive of recent heroin use, but is only detectable for a few hours after use. The presence of codeine can be the result of either heroin or codeine use. The presence of morphine can be the result of the use of heroin, codeine, or morphine. Relative levels of codeine and morphine can help determine their origin.
