A member asked:
Is it possible for me to take too much codeine cough syrup?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely!: Codeine is a narcotic. Although weaker than many narcotics, it still has the same potential side effects from addiction to constipation, respiratory depression, and death. Only use according to prescription instructions and no more.
