Also known as Codicept®, methylmorphine, morphine 3-methyl ether, morphine monomethyl ether, morphine-3-methyl ether, O(3)-methylmorphine, l-codeine, codeine anhydrous

Codeine is an opiate and prodrug of morphine mainly used to treat pain, coughing, and diarrhea. It is commonly used as a recreational drug. It is found naturally in the sap of the opium poppy, Papaver somniferum. It is typically used to treat mild to moderate degrees of pain. Greater benefit may occur when combined with paracetamol (acetaminophen) as codeine/paracetamol or a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) such as aspirin or ibuprofen. Evidence does not support its use for acute cough suppression in children. In Europe, it is not recommended as a cough medicine for those under 12 y

AI overview

Codeine is an opiate derived from the opium poppy plant that doctors use to treat mild to moderate pain, coughing, and diarrhea, often in combination with other medications like paracetamol or ibuprofen. Because it is an opiate, codeine carries risks of recreational misuse and addiction, which is why its use—particularly for cough suppression in children—is increasingly restricted in many countries.
