Why is Codeine most often used?

Codeine is used, usually in combination with other medications, to reduce coughing. It also is used to relieve mild to moderate pain.

How should Codeine be used?

Codeine comes alone or in combination with other drugs as a tablet, capsule, and liquid to take by mouth. It usually is taken every 4-6 hours as needed. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take codeine exactly as directed.

Codeine can be habit-forming. Do not take a larger dose, take it more often, or for a longer period than your doctor tells you to.

Shake the liquid well before measuring a dose.
