No, pholcodine linctus and codeine phosphate are not the same. Pholcodine is a cough suppressant that works by acting on the brain to reduce the urge to cough, while codeine phosphate is an opioid pain reliever that also has cough suppressant properties but is primarily used for pain management. Their chemical structures, uses, and effects differ, so they are classified as separate medications.

Can naproxen sodium and codeine phosphate with ibuprofen be taken together?
It can, but isn't necessary. Codeine is a stronger analgesic and with it having ibuprofen, it has the same benefit that naproxen would have if added. Kinda like taking codeine with 2 ibuprofens. Not needed. If more pain relief is needed you would want to see about an increased dosage of codeine w/ibuprofen... You shouldn't take ibuprofen and Naproxen together... both act the same way on the same receptors.. you'll only get more side effects and toxicity.
