Description

Codeine phosphate 60 mg is an opioid medicine available by prescription for specific medical conditions where treatment with an opioid analgesic or, in some circumstances, its use for cough suppression is considered appropriate by a healthcare professional. It works primarily by acting on opioid receptors in the central nervous system, helping to reduce the perception of pain.

The 60 mg strength contains 60 milligrams of codeine phosphate and should be used only according to the dosage and directions provided by a qualified healthcare professional. Codeine can cause drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, constipation, and slowed breathing, particularly at higher doses or when combined with other medicines or substances that depress the central nervous system.

Because codeine can lead to tolerance, dependence, misuse, and potentially fatal overdose, it should be kept away from others and never shared. Combining codeine with alcohol, sedatives, benzodiazepines, or other opioids can substantially increase the risk of dangerous respiratory depression.

Patients should discuss their medical history, current medicines, allergies, and other relevant factors with their doctor or pharmacist before using codeine phosphate. Seek urgent medical attention for severe sleepiness, difficulty waking, slow or shallow breathing, or other signs of overdose.

Prescription use only. Keep out of reach of children and use strictly as directed by a healthcare professional.
