== Non-existent reference ==

As far as I can tell, "The December 2008 issue of The Bulletin of the National Codeine OTC Lobby (Vol. XVIII, No. 4)" is a false reference - this organization does not seem to actually exist beyond Misplaced Pages and other websites that only seem to copy/paste what is in this paragraph regarding OTC access to Codeine. I've had a professional literature search done and come back with absolutely nothing.

That, alas, is true for quite a few "references" on medical a/or 'recreational' drugs... -a form or error propagation typical for the digital age.
Also: "Evidence does not support its use for acute cough suppression in children or adults. In Europe, it is not recommended as a cough medicine in those under 12 years of age. Some tentative evidence shows it can reduce a chronic cough in adults." can only be regarded as spurious at best, resp. methodologically questionable. - As _anyone_ who has suffered from a severe cough and thus been administered codeine will readily confirm . <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 21:07, 30 November 2019 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

What does {{tq|including such mixtures as aspirin + paracetamol + codeine ± caffeine ± antihistamines and other agents}} mean? How can you have negative caffeine or antihistamines? If this is a medical notation, is there a less ]y way to say this? --] (]) 00:57, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

== Kodeiin ==


Codeine definitely helps allergic cough too, as well as cough caused by mucus, in the throat, and so on. I dont see that explicitly stated anywhere in the article, so I was thinking it should be added. Also, chronic cough it definitely helps with.

The fifth sentence of the article is: "In Europe, it is not recommended as a cough medicine in those under 12 years of age." The source is the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists. While that source does warn against pediatric use, I cannot find anything about Europe in particular. Nothing in that source indicates that these are recommendations "in Europe". It refers to the FDA, but does not seem to refer to the EMA or any other European agency.


In the History section, the article talks about "codeine-based barbiturates" and then goes on to list a number of different barbiturate drugs. However, the connection between these and codeine is not expanded upon in any way. Even clicking the links to the articles about the specific barbiturates doesn't yield any information, as none of those articles make any mention of codeine. I think the problem is with the phrase "codeine-based barbiturates" which would seem to indicate that a codeine molecule is connected to a barbiturate molecule, when that does not appear to be the case for any of these. Is it talking about preparations where codeine is combined with a barbiturate? If so, none of the specific articles on the barbiturates themselves mention formulations containing codeine, so I'm left wondering where this phrase came from. ] (]) 17:40, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Prescription drug driving impairment and legal penalties.

Laws have recently been introduced in this area in the UK. There is no information on the subject in this article about this anywhere in the world. Should the ignorance of the possibility of driving impairment due to 'normal' use of prescription codeine and the possible legal penalties be included in this article? This is complicated by the fact the the UK legal limit is in metabolised opium per litre of blood, which will vary due to genetic differences.

Codeine and allergic cough

Codeine definitely helps allergic cough too, as well as cough caused by mucus, in the throat, and so on. I dont see that explicitly stated anywhere in the article, so I was thinking it should be added. Also, chronic cough it definitely helps with.

About the side effects, it can cause vomiting too, but this is not stated. At high doses, it can even cause Gastritis, inflammation of the stomach. Noam111g (talk) 03:21, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Codeine and barbiturates

In the History section, the article talks about "codeine-based barbiturates" and then goes on to list a number of different barbiturate drugs. However, the connection between these and codeine is not expanded upon in any way. Even clicking the links to the articles about the specific barbiturates doesn't yield any information, as none of those articles make any mention of codeine. I think the problem is with the phrase "codeine-based barbiturates" which would seem to indicate that a codeine molecule is connected to a barbiturate molecule, when that does not appear to be the case for any of these. Is it talking about preparations where codeine is combined with a barbiturate? If so, none of the specific articles on the barbiturates themselves mention formulations containing codeine, so I'm left wondering where this phrase came from.
