What are facts about codeine?

Answer 1

It comes from the opium poppy, and is one of the main opiate alkaloids found in the poppy, along with morphine, thebaine, and a few others. It feels pretty good if you take enough as with any opiate but believe me its pretty addicting. It is the most commonly prescribed narcotic, being prescribed for conditions from cough to mild to moderate pain. Im not encouraging any drug use but if that's the reason for you asking this question i only ask you to do your research on codeine and any other drug it is combined with in your prescription. Ie. cod/prometh syrup, codeine/apap*, codeine/guafenisen etc.

Pairing codeine with other drugs makes it harder to abuse as well as serving the function of two medicines. *be extremely dose cautious when using codeine with Apap, or Aceitomenophen(Tylenol), because apap can cause overdose at doses as little as 2,000 mg(depending on the preperation could be as little as 4 pillz).
