If you are allergic to codeine would you be allergic to Vicodin?

The first thing that you need to know is if it is a true allergy or simply a strong manifestation of the common opioid side effects. If you do have a true allergy to codeine, you could be allergic to some or all of the semi-synthetic preparations or you could be fine with them. The semi-synthetic codeines include hydrocodone, oxycodone, and any other -codone named medications.

You should also be aware that drug allergies can begin at any time. While you may have taken hydrocodone without incident for years, you may find yourself having a life-threatening reaction to it at any time. Once you have a reaction to codeine or a synthetic preparation, you are at an increased risk of reacting to the other preparations. It would be wise to keep epinepherine and diphenhydramine available if you are going to test the waters with any others.

If you find yourself allergic to codeine or the semi-synthetic preparations, you may want to talk to your doctor about prescribing a medication from the morphine group as allergies to codeine and morphine are generally unrelated.

It DOES have Dextromethorphan [a.k.a DXM] which is the same stuff in "Triple C's" or known as "Coricidon Cough and Cold".

Triple C's usually have about 30mg of DXM, if you buy the correct ones, and if you take about five or more [150mg+] will hit you and get you high!

How many mgs of codeine does Oxycontin have?

None.

If, however, you are asking about equivalency, according so several online calculators, 100 mg of codeine (oral) is about equal to 10 mg oxycodone (oral). I can't stress the "about" enough. There is a phenomenon known as Incomplete Cross-conversion. Generally speaking, when someone switches from one opiate to another, they will have a slightly lowertolerance to the new drug than what is indicated by simple conversion.

If you are taking oxy for the first time and have only took codeine in the past, then you have almost no tolerance. Codeine, stated simply, is a weak opiate. You should take less than 10% of the mg's you took of codeine until you see how you react.

What are the longterm effects of codeine?

A potentially fatal drug reaction of codeine is respiratory depression. The higher the dose taken, the more likely it is for breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure to slow to dangerous levels. Codeine is absorbed quickly from the GI tract and its first pass through the liver results in very little loss of the drug. With chronic codeine use, the brain slows or even stops endorphin production resulting in the following side effects

  • Constipation, stomach bleeding
  • kidney and liver damage
  • Skin nodules and itching
  • nausea, hangover
  • tiny pupils, blurred vision, poor night vision
  • impair your ability to drive
  • lowered heart rate, blood pressure and breathing
  • disorientation, hallucinations
  • convulsions, depression
  • sexual dysfunctions
  • agitation, tremors, and seizures

The worst symptoms pass within a few days, but it can take months to feel normal.

Is Tylenol with codeine a opiate?

It depends on if you specifically need opioids in ur system. Most places do not check for opioids, but generally DO test for opiates. Now, from experience and knowledge of this subject, id like to clear up the fact that there's one big differences between these two. Right from first check's web responses recently, it only shows that standard opiate screens pickup codeine, hydrocodone, morphine, and diacytel morphine (heroin) show as opiates. Their "oxycodone" (opioid) screen picks up on hydromorphone(dilaudid), oxycodone(percocet/oxy contin) and oxymorphone(opana er), and can show low lvl positives.. if Bupenorphrine(suboxone main ingredient) is in ur system. If the latter is the case, n if a specialized test is done for it, it will no longer show as a simple opioid so keep that in mind. But anyway, opiates r naturally occurring alkaloids in the poppy plants, in the "pods". Opioids are a class that gets processed from the opiate alkaloids. These include codeine, morphine, heroin, narcatine,
Codeine is indeed an opioid
