If im allergic to codeine can you take morphine?

Answer 1

Tylenol, Aspirin, Naproxen (Aleve in America), ibuprofen, ketorolac, (basically any NSAID), darvocet, hydrocodone (in most circumstances), Oxycodone, dilaudid, morphine, fentanyl, meperidine, methadone, the list goes on.

Actually codeine is a pretty crappy pain reliever anyway, you're not missing much. You'd probably get better results from ketorolac, ibuprofen or Naproxen even though they are available over the counter. Ahh, but the power of suggestion is strong though isn't it?

Most of these medications are codeine derivatives and would cause a person allergic to codeine to have a reaction. please contact a doctor. -submitted by your friendly pharmacist

Answer 2

many different things can happen if allergic to codeine

itching ,vomiting,stomach upset, hot/cold flashes, resperitory depression,,resperitory failure, thats just to name a few things i know about but everyone is different. some people can be allergic and still take the medicine but have to keep lower doses and supervision.

Answer 3

Obviously you should consult your medical adviser, but mine gave me a painkiller called Motifene or diclofenac sodium, plus a "stomach liner" which I took first thing in the morning before taking the painkiller - and they worked great for me. please check with Doctor first

Answer 4

no because they are both made out of opiates

Answer 5

Any of the Nsaids nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs labeled without codeine would work for mild to moderate pain. Things like Ibuprofen and available in prescription strengths.

Answer 6

There are many other pain medicines. Since codeine requires a prescription anyway, make sure your doctor knows of your allergy, and he or she will give you something else.
