How strong is promethazine-codeine 6.25-10 mg?
Promethazine-codeine 6.25-10 mg is pretty strong depending on your weight and how well you tolerate medicine. It might affect some people more than others.
When you take codeine you get serious nausea is oxycodone the same as codeine?
It is very similar. Very few people can tolerate Oxycodone when they are allergic to Codeine. The basis of most prescription pain relievers is a derivative of Codeine.
Unfortunately, I am severely allergic to Codeine, and the only pain reliever I am able to tolerate is Demerol, because it is 100% synthetic. I cannot even take over-the-counter Imodium, as it is made with Codeine.
They have tried Morphine, Vicodin, Lortab, all of the "-odones", all with the same results. I assume each person is different, if you feel nauseous with any of these medications, notify your Doctor, as they may be able to supplement the medication with an anti-nausea medication. Good Luck.

Should you take 1 teaspoon or 1 tablespoon of cough syrup with codeine?
It should say on the label from the pharmacy, but teaspoon is more likely correct. A tablespoon would be an overdose. Feel free to call any pharmacist when in doubt. They are there to help.

Follow the doctor's recomendation. It would be writen in the RX. Codeine is a opiate and could form habit but the amount of the RX will not be enough to get a bad habit. The Thing is that codeine medicines should not be taken by selfprescription.
Will codeine be detected as morphine in a blood drug screen test?
It depends on the type and sensitivity of the test. Basic test will test for opiates, which will come back positive by using for morphine, codeine or heroin. The basic test will not differentiate between the three it will simply be positive for "opiates."
Codeine and Heroin for that matter are prodrugs meaning they have little or no pharmacological actions alone instead, they are broken down into morphine which is what actually provides the analgesia. More advanced tests can differentiate morphine and codeine because there will still be some codeine molecules and there will be morphine. If morphine were used then only morphine would show and Heroin has two other active metabolites 6-MAM and 3-MAM and if those metabolites are present it would mean heroin was used. Also note that Heroin is NOT an opiate, it only shows up because it turns into morphine which, along with codeine, is an opiate.
Also blood tests are the most accurate however they are the most expensive and they can only detect a drug for a few hours.

The real answer is that it depends on the individual. Tylenol does take a toll on the liver however used as directed one should not suffer any adverse side effects. If you are concerned about your dose or frequency talk to your doctor. You may also want to go in for monthly blood tests to verify that your liver enzymes are within normal ranges. It is a simple test which will give you a red flag before you experience any major problems.

How much is 200 grams of codeine?
A lot! Consider this: one Tylenol 3 with codeine contains only three milligrams of the drug.
3 milligrams is only 3/200,000 of 200 grams.
I am a medical doctor but also take codeine for my Fibromyalgia. Tylenol 3 (generic is Acetaminophen with Codeine) contains 30mg (thirty milligrams) of codeine. 1000mg (milligrams) = 1 gram. which means 200 grams would be equal to taking 6,667 pills of Tylenol 3. This would kill any human no matter what the persons tolerance is.
Can cough syrup with codeine lead to impotency?
Anything is possible. It can certainly lead to codeine addiction, and that can cause all sorts of problems.

Impotency may be more due to the illness. Certainly the effects of the cough syrup will not last more than a few days. If you are speaking of recreational use, the answer above will suffice.
