Codin 30 Tablets
Description
Tab Codin 30mg comes under the therapeutic classification of Opioid Analgesics. It is composed of 30 MG of Codeine phosphate. It is used as an analgesic to relieve cough and the symptomatic treatment
of Chronic Diarrhoea. It is indicated in patients older than 12 years. It is used for relieving acute moderate pain, which cannot be reduced by other analgesics like ibuprofen or paracetamol alone. Tab Codin 30 is known to have medicine dependence even at therapeutic doses. Additional support and monitoring should be maintained to avoid the risk of medication misuse. Codin 30 Tab also exhibits drug tolerance properties. Chronic use of this medication will make the treatment less effective for the patient and ask to increase the dosage to obtain the initial level of pain control. They also try to reduce the pain by taking additional supplements. Care should be taken in such conditions. Dosage should be taken as prescribed by the doctor. Overdosage may result in serious complications. The need for analgesics should be reviewed regularly by your doctor. The dosage will be tapered gradually to minimise the withdrawal symptoms. Tapering from a higher dosage may take weeks to months.
