Codeine Linctus  

Codeine Linctus is an oral solution containing codeine phosphate, an opioid used to suppress coughs. It’s typically a clear, viscous liquid.

Uses

This syrup is primarily used to relieve dry, tickly, or irritating coughs. It works by reducing the activity in the part of the brain that causes coughing, helping to provide temporary relief from persistent coughs that don’t produce phlegm.

Effects

Therapeutic Effects: Effectively suppresses non-productive coughs. Side Effects: Common side effects include drowsiness, constipation, nausea, and dizziness. Due to its opioid content, there’s a risk of dependence and misuse, particularly with prolonged use or higher doses. It can also cause respiratory depression, especially in sensitive individuals.
