A member asked:

Is it possible to overdose on 75ml of promethazine vc codeine syrup?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Yes. What may represent a fatal overdose for one patient may be tolerated by another patient. Any combination of opiates such as Codeine with other drugs that can cause sleepiness such as Promethazine is potentially dangerous.
