Product Description
Codeine is an opiate used to treat pain, as a cough medicine, and for diarrhea. It is typically used to treat mild to moderate degrees of pain. Codeine is not itself centrally active, and must first be converted via first pass metabolism into morphine by the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP2D6. Codeine is also metabolised into the inactive norcodeine via the CYP3A4 enzyme system.
