A member asked:
I took liquid codeine and tablets of codeine together for abdominal pain and i developed a prolonged qt interval on an ecg. did this combo cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely but...: It is unlikely that Codeine alone would cause QT prolongation. Usually the other medications it is combined with are the culprit. Certainly this is concerning and may indicate you have QT prolongation as a baseline not previously identified. Get this checked out soon by a qualified health care provider.
