It depends on what kind of pill you are taking. If it is an opiate and has the codeine in it then the opiates would show up. for instance... Oxycontin it wouldn't be the codeine in the drug that would show up it would be the opiate.

Does Hydrocortisone cream have codeine?

Could a given preparation containing hydrocortisone acetate also contain codeine? Yes, it could.

Would a rational person expect it to? No, he would not. Hydrocortisone acetate is a specific compound that is more or less exactly unlike codeine.

You may be thinking of hydrocodone, which isn't exactly codeine either, but is at least a closely related compound (hydrocodone differs from codeine in having a =O where codeine has an -OH).

Is oxycodone a derivative of codeine?

Oxycodone is a synthetic form of codeine, an opiod analgesic (pain reliever). This means it was created in a lab, and although oxycodone's chemical name is derived from codeine and the chemical structures are very similar, they are a little different in that they act on different receptors in the body. One may produce fewer adverse reactions than the other, depending on the person, but degree of pain relief is similar. Oxycodone is often mixed with acetaminophen, the ingredient in Tylenol, giving it the potential to cause liver damage in those who are susceptible, or when consumed with alcohol.

Can you take acetaminophen and Robitussin codeine together?

Yes, you can generally take acetaminophen and Robitussin with codeine together, as they contain different active ingredients that serve different purposes.

Can codeine harm an unborn fetus?

Technically, no. It is listed as pregnancy risk category C.

Researching via Google shows there are not many, if any, clinical testing for pregnant women who take codeine, so there is insufficient data in humans. Which does not mean it is safe for a pregnant woman to take codeine. It only means more testing must be done before a definitive answer can be provided.

Can codeine cause hallucinations?

One does not simply, hallucinate a Jew who drives a two wheel drive Chevy and owns a gay dirtbike and who can smell a penny from across the street.

Is it ok to drink promethazine with codeine and take extacy at the same time?

I wouldn't recommend it. Promethazine is an anti-nausea drug, while codeine is a mild narcotic and painkiller. I've taken both of those together, and it was NOT fun. I was hurt and nauseous. I also had prescriptions for both drugs.

Ecstasy is a "street" drug; you don't really know what you're getting, nor what dose. If you are sick enough to need promethazine to keep you from vomiting, you probably don't want to be taking unknown street drugs.

Does Tylenol contain codeine?

Only Tylenol #3 which can only be accessed through doctors permission.

----------------------------

Nope. If the Tylenol (or acetaminophen) has a number (#1, 2, 3, or 4) it has increasing doses of codeine - Tylenol #1 has 8mg (with the 325mg acetaminophen), #2 has 15mg, #3 has 30mg (the most often used), and #4 has 60mg per tab. All are Controlled Substances in the U.S., Schedule III. Permission doesn't enter into it - they all require a prescription with DEA number, or in some states a special controlled drug form. They can be prescribed by phone, unlike Schedule II (morphine, Ritalin etc.). Canada allows their #1 version to be sold over the counter. Happy pain relief.

Does Codeine cause stomach cramps?

Yes! It happened to me recently. I was prescribed codeine to help with a terrible cough so that I could sleep at night. I experienced what can only be described as the worse pain of my life. the pain came like contractions, every 3-5 minutes and each "contraction" lasted 3-5 minutes. After about an hour they subsided. It was very scary, and excruciating...and I have a pretty high pain tolerance. My two children were born without meds and this was worse than childbirth!

GOVERNMENT GUIDELINES.

What does the government say? The Food & Drug Administration, which regulates packaged foods and drugs, only specifies a true use-by, or expiration, date on infant formula. It has no requirements for drug expiration dates - just that there is one on the label. So how is an expiration date determined? By the drug companies.

Most medicines in tablets and capsule form are very stable if kept dry and not exposed to high temperatures. For example aspirin or acetaminophen tablets kept under such conditions would still be OK after 30 years or more but glyceryl trinitrate tablets degenerate after the bottle is opened after several months. Hydrocodone would be OK after 50 years also, it is a very stable compound if kept dry. Manufacturers must put expiry dates to protect the consumer in case of inadequate storage. Expensive drugs when expired are reanalysed and then repackaged if OK with a new expiry date. 40 years after WWII the army tested a storeroom of drugs. Only the antibiotic penicillin had gone bad (it is pretty heat/light sensitive) . All other drugs were fine. If you don't believe me - my sources are: The FDA Code of Federal Regulations Title 21

You should not take Flexeril with codeine, no. You can take either Flexeril and ibuprofen or Codeine and ibuprofen. Taking two sedative drugs together can cause you to pass out and have trouble breathing. Ibuprofen is harsh on the stomach, so you should have some food before you take it. And you should decide which relaxant you want to take with the ibuprofen because you should not take both.

Is codeine over the counter in Costa Rica?

I've been using rx2040. com for awhile now, and so far they have not let me down. The constant refill reminders via e-mail are a bit irritating, but other than that, the product is as promised and delivery is very fast. I like the fact that they're easy to reach by phone, too, in case I need to check an order or ask a billing question.
