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 . — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.63.140.105 (talk) 21:07, 30 November 2019 (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.
±?
What does 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 WP:JARGONy way to say this? --Ahecht (TALK

Kodeiin
Kodeiin on hea ravim olin sõltuvuses sellest neelasin päevast päeva peo täite kaupa neid tablette . 2001:1530:1018:FB57:8400:AE90:C29C:7124 (talk) 06:32, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
Source for recommendation "in Europe"
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.

Codeine is an opiate and prodrug of morphine mainly used to treat pain, coughing, and diarrhea. It is also commonly used as a recreational drug. It is found naturally in the sap of the opium poppy, Papaver somniferum. It is typically used to treat mild to moderate degrees of pain. Greater benefit may occur when combined with paracetamol (acetaminophen) or a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) such as aspirin or ibuprofen. 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. It is generally taken by mouth. It typically starts working after half an hour, with maximum effect at two hours. Its effects last for about four to six hours. Codeine exhibits abuse potential similar to other opioid medications.
