What is Codeine?

Codeine is an opiate/opioid medication, sometimes known as a narcotic. It is helpful for the treatment of mild to moderate pain, coughing, and diarrhea. Combining Codeine with Acetaminophen (paracetamol) or an NSAID (a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) such as ibuprofen or aspirin gives the best results.

Codeine works by putting a stop to pain signals from traveling along the nerves of the brain. It relieves the pain by holding the pain signals to move further to the brain through nerves. There is no evidence of its working in children or adults as an acute cough suppressant.

Codeine is an endogenous compound accompanying morphine, which one can find in nonhuman pirates’ brains with depolarized neurons. It indicates that Codeine may function as a neuromodulator or neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (CNS). Its other medicinal use includes diarrhea; or diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome. Sometimes, it helps during cancer pain also, but it leads to the emergence of side effects.
