Codeine

What is Codeine Used for?

Codeine is a painkiller derived from morphine, which is used to treat mild to moderate pain. It is an extremely versatile medication, which can be taken on its own, or combined with paracetamol, to make co-codamol. Found in the opium poppy, codeine has been consumed in different forms for decades but was not completely isolated as its own substance until 1832, by Pierre Robiquet in France. It is now one of the most popular medications and is sold all over the world as a painkiller.

Pain is typically defined as an uncomfortable sensation caused by damage to the body. It is not any one thing; it can range from mild to moderate and then severe. It can also be acute or chronic. Acute pain is also known as short-term pain and usually is experienced following an injury. Chronic pain is known as long-term pain and is usually because of a medical condition, nerve pain, or long-term damage caused by an injury.

If you are looking to buy codeine, then look no further. From painkillers to anti-anxiety and sleeping tablets, we have everything you could need. The best part is, there is no prescription necessary. If you are on this page because you already want codeine but need some more information first, then read on.

How Codeine Works?

Codeine is classed as an opiate medication, and as such, works the same as many other opiate painkillers. After consumption, it is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, and its effects start to kick in, to reduce the amount of pain someone is in. This is done via opioid receptors. There are three different types of opioid receptors, mu, delta, and kappa. After consumption, codeine starts to bind to these opioid receptors, activating them.

Within the central nervous system (CNS), the main reduction of pain is due to the mu-opioid receptors, present in the midbrain. From here, it interrupts the pain signals that are sent along the central nervous system between the brain and the body, which reduces the sensation of pain. This reduction in activity in the central nervous system can also result in relaxation and drowsiness too.

Available Codeine Dosage

Codeine is available in 15 mg, 30 mg, and 60 mg doses. The codeine dosage that you should take depends on several different factors, such as how long you have been taking it, your genetic makeup, and what health conditions you have. When being used to treat pain, it is recommended that between 15 mg and 60 mg is taken every 4 hours as needed.

You should always take the least amount of medication that is needed at any one time, so we recommend starting on the 15 mg dose and increasing it from there if needed. If you only have 60 mg tablets and need to reduce a dose, this can be done by splitting the tablet into halves or quarters. You should adhere to the above recommendations and never exceed the maximum dose of 360 mg per day, regardless of any condition that you suffer from.

Doing so can increase the risk of experiencing side effects. Additionally, if you have reduced liver or kidney function, you should take less than the recommended doses above. The above doses are recommended for those who have no history of poor organ function.

How to Take Codeine?

Codeine should be taken like any other medication - swallowed whole with a glass of water. If you find that you experience gastrointestinal discomfort when taking codeine, you can take it with a glass of milk instead, or after a meal. Codeine by itself can only be so effective. To maximise the effects of codeine, it is recommended that you use other pain management techniques alongside it. Some pain management techniques that are often recommended are:

• Exercise. Studies have found that doing only 20-30 minutes of gentle aerobic exercise a day, such as swimming or jogging, can ease pain, for example in those suffering from fibromyalgia. It does this by releasing endorphins, which can also help to ease depression and anxiety. Exercise is also known to increase flexibility and range of motion which is known to affect people that suffer from pain.
• Meditation. Various studies have shown that meditation is effective in the management of pain. A 2018 study found that meditation over the long-term re-trains the brain, changing the structure to reinforce the parts which are responsible for pain management.

How Long Does Codeine Last?

Codeine lasts for around 3 to 4 hours, depending on the dosage that has been taken. However, other factors need to be considered, which can make the medication last for shorter or longer amounts of time. Some of these factors are:

• The weight or size of the person taking the medication. People who are larger than average will find that the medication is eliminated from their bodies more quickly than those who have smaller frames. This is because more medication is needed to have the same level of effects as it would in smaller people.
• Other medications that you are taking. Some medications can affect how long codeine lasts. Before taking codeine, you should ensure that you conduct research into whether any other medication you are taking interacts with it.
• The genetic makeup of the person. Some people will naturally break down and eliminate medications from their bodies quicker than others, so require higher doses, regardless of their weight or size.

Is Codeine Safe?

Codeine is a very safe medication that is used by people all over the world. It has been approved by multiple regulatory medical bodies, such as the United Kingdom Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency. Like with any medication though, there are caveats. For one, the maximum recommended dose of codeine should never be exceeded. If it is, there is a danger that you may experience side effects. Additionally, there are certain things to be considered before taking this medication, such as:

• If you decide to stop taking codeine, it is not recommended that you abruptly stop. Doing so can increase the risk of experiencing a range of uncomfortable side effects, such as insomnia, nausea, or headaches. You should instead taper this medication off over the course of a week, gradually taking less each day.
• It should not be taken by those who suffer from alcoholism. It is not recommended that codeine be taken alongside alcohol, as doing so can increase the levels of sedation beyond recommended levels, to a dangerous point, where the central nervous system is unable to operate safely.
• If you are suffering or have recently suffered from any of the following medical conditions - acute myocardial infarction, bradycardia, celiac disease, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, rheumatoid arthritis, or sickle cell disease, it may not be safe for you to take codeine.

Learn About Codeine Side Effects

Codeine has side effects, like all medications. Nevertheless, the side effect profile of this medication is not high risk. It has been used for decades extremely safely, as long as the recommended amounts are taken, and the medication is not mixed with other substances. To reduce the likelihood of experiencing side effects, we recommend that you take any steps you can to prevent them from occurring.

Keeping hydrated while taking this medication can reduce the likelihood that you will experience dry eyes. Prevention is always better than cure. One of the more common side effects that you may experience when taking codeine is drowsiness. Because this medication affects the brain and central nervous system, and as such is occasionally used for anxiety, it can also occasionally leave the user feeling drowsy. To counter this, we recommend taking this medication before bedtime.

We also recommend if you are feeling drowsy following taking this medication, do not drive or operate heavy machinery, as this can potentially be unsafe. Please note that the above list is not all the side effects that you can experience while taking this painkiller. For a full list of side effects, you should read the manufacturer informational leaflet, contained in the medication packaging.

Why Buy Codeine Online?

As there are currently no active patents on codeine, pharmaceutical companies from all over the world can manufacture medications using it as an active ingredient and sell it online. These are known as generic medications. This means that the medication has the same effects and side effects as the original medication, due to them both containing the same active ingredient.

Additionally, these pharmaceutical companies must manufacture these medications using the same stringent medical conditions that Pfizer, Roche, or Bayer must operate in, so you can rest assured that the treatments are not only equally as effective as the original branded medications but are just as safe too. It also means that you do not need a prescription to order the medication, so there is no requirement to get a doctor's appointment or visit a pharmacist to get it.

This also means that you do not have to speak to anyone about the condition you suffer from. We know that many of us can find it embarrassing or intrusive to have to speak to a doctor or pharmacist about our conditions. Sometimes we just want to deal with it on our own, without having to explain things.

Research Before You Buy Codeine UK

We always recommend that people read and leave reviews when ordering any of our products. Before the internet, people only had three sources of information prior to taking medication. They could listen and read the information provided directly by the manufacturer themselves, which although accurate, could have an element of bias involved, as they wish to promote their product.

Providing that this review was not paid for by the manufacturer, this could be a way of obtaining more objective information but is only the opinion of one person. Thirdly they could get information through word-of-mouth or anecdotes of the people they know. This is likely to have the least bias to it, as they have no incentive to promote the product themselves but is unlikely to be a large enough sample size to give an accurate picture of the product itself.

Now people have online reviews. Hundreds, thousands, or even millions of people may have left reviews for the product you are looking to purchase, with a wealth of information from all these people at your fingertips. Through sheer sample size alone, you are likely to get an accurate picture of how medications like codeine work, as you can see from the amount of positive vs negative reviews.
