CLICK TO BUY CODEINE PHOSPHATE

IMPORTANT: Due to post-Brexit border issues, our affiliated pharmacies no longer ship CODEINE PHOSPHATE to UK customers. Co Codamol is an alternative that can be shipped to the UK.

Codeine phosphate has a long history of usage as a painkiller, cough suppressant, and anti-diarrhea medication. Codeine is one of the isomers in morphine which was the first opioid medication for severe pain and is still widely used.

CLICK TO BUY CO-CODAMOL 30/500mg (PARACETAMOL COMP)

Paracetamol Comp is the German name for Co-Codamol, containing 30mg of codeine phosphate and 500mg of paracetamol. There are many different brands of this formulation including Paracetamol Comp, Kapake, Solpadol, and Zapain. They are all are clinically the same. Adding codeine to paracetamol provides a more effective painkiller. This medication is often prescribed for post surgical pain. Co-Codamol is also available OTC in the UK but in a milder formulation than this prescription strength medication.

AN ALTERNATIVE PAINKILLER CONTAINING CODEINE IS BRUFEN PLUS WITH 30mg CODEINE PHOSPHATE AND 400mg IBUPROFEN. CHECK DETAILS HERE. YOU CAN LOGIN WITH SAME DETAILS.

Pain Ends

Solpadol, Kapake, Zapain are other brands of Co-Codamol containing 30mg of codeine and 500mg of paracetamol. They are not currently available from our affiliated pharmacy. But all these medications are clinically the same as Paracetamol Comp.

Important Information about Codeine

Before you buy codeine online, you should consider if it is right for you. You should not buy codeine online if you are allergic to it, or if you have an uncontrolled breathing disorder, a bowel obstruction called paralytic ileus, or frequent asthma attacks or hyperventilation.

Codeine may be habit-forming and should be used only by the person it was prescribed for. Keep the medication in a secure place where others cannot get to it.

In a few cases, codeine has been known to break down rapidly in the liver causing higher than normal levels in the body and resulting in dangerously slow breathing and even death, especially in children. So call your doctor if this medication causes very slow breathing or physical weakness, and call emergency if a child taking this medication has breathing problems, blue lips, or if you cannot wake the child up from sleep.

Codeine Dosing Information

Take codeine exactly as prescribed. Never take it in larger amounts, or for a longer time than your doctor has recommended. Follow the directions on the prescription label. Typically, doctors prescribe lower doses for coughing than for pain.

Usual Adult Codeine Dose for Pain or Coughing:
15 mg orally every 6 hours as required.

Usual Adult Codeine Dose for Pain:
30 mg every 6 hours as necessary.
Maximum 120 mg/day.

Codeine side effects

Call emergency if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction to codeine: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, or throat. Call your doctor if you have:

  • slow heart rate and shallow breathing
  • fainting
  • confusion, agitation, or hallucinations
  • seizures
  • inability to urinate

Common codeine side effects include:

  • dizziness
  • drowsiness
  • nausea
  • stomach ache
  • constipation
  • excessive sweating
  • itchy skin

What other drugs will affect codeine?

Avoid taking codeine at the same time as other drugs that either make your drowsy or slow your breathing. Tell your doctor about all drugs that you take, and any you start taking during your treatment with codeine, especially these medications:

  • pentazocine
  • nalbuphine
  • butorphanol
  • buprenorphine

This list is not complete so you must tell your doctor about all your medications.

What happens if I miss a dose?

Codeine is taken as needed so there is no need to make up for the skipped dose. In any event, do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.

What happens if I overdose?

Seek emergency medical attention. A codeine overdose can be fatal. Symptoms of codeine overdose include pinpoint pupils, confusion, cold and clammy skin, weak pulse, shallow breathing, fainting, or stopping breathing.

What should I avoid while taking codeine?

Do not drink alcohol. Codeine combined with alcohol can be fatal.

Codeine is one of the isomers in morphine which was the first opioid medication for severe pain and is still widely used.

Before you can buy codeine online, your consultation will be reviewed by a registered doctor and pharmacist who may contact your for further information or verification. Codeine medication should only be taken as directed by a qualified medical professional. Any off-label or recreational use can lead to addiction. If you believe that you have taken an overdose of this medication then you must contact emergency assistance without delay. A codeine overdose can be fatal.
