Question 1

side effects of codein cough syrup, consuming from last 8 years.?

Accepted Answer

Codeine : If you are asking about 8 year old cough syrup then likely only sedation and possible abdominal pain or nausea. Don't take meds that old, who knows what else could be in there now or what chemicals have broken down. You wouldn't drink milk that old!

Question 2

No exact equivalent: There is no exact equivalent product. The closest have 300mg Acetaminophen (paracetamol) & varying doses of codeine, either 15mg, 30mg or 60mg, sold as tylenol (acetaminophen) #2, #3 & #4 respectively.

Question 3

is there a pain killer cream gel with morfin or codein?

Accepted Answer

There can be: My pharmacy specializes in compounding topical pain creams tailored to target your pain specifically while reducing side effects and drug interactions. We assess the patients pain, perform a comprehensive medication review and work with the patients provider to customize a formula. Although a compound can contain Codeine or morphine there are formulas with other ingredients that are more effective.

Question 4

is d-propoxyphene napsylate stronger or weaker than codein? please advise!

Accepted Answer

Not sure why the ?: since propoxyphene has not been available legally in the United States for about 10 years now.  It was taken off the market for 2 major reasons.  One was that it simply didn't work.  Codeine DOES work.  Numerous studies showed that darvon compounds only worked because of the other things in them (aspirin, tylenol (acetaminophen) etc.) and that darvon alone was a placebo. Secondly, it had cardiac effects.

Question 9

i've been taking codeine sulfate 60mg. lately my medication is on backorder. which other pain meds could i consider. it has to be similar to codeine?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: There is no over the counter replacement for codeine. There are multiple other options, but they are all controlled substances that need be prescribed by a physician. See your doctor to determine which is best for you.

Question 10

help can codeine sulfate and hydrocodone show up as the same in a simple drug test?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Drugs tests look for 2 essential chemicals when they look for opiates - Codeine and morphine, which are similar compounds and they are both converted into each other. Hydrocodone is metabolized into Codeine which is then transformed by acetylation to morphine. These are the final common pathway products for most, but not all, opiates. Oxycodone produces relatively little, is has separate test.
