Codeine

An opioid called codeine is used to relieve mild to moderate pain and manage coughing.. By binding to specific receptors in the brain, it helps reduce pain and suppress coughing reflexes. Often found in combination with other drugs, it can be taken in various forms such as tablets or syrups. While effective, it carries risks of side effects like drowsiness, constipation, and dependency if misused. Always adhere to the prescribed dosage and use under medical supervision.
