Prescription drug driving impairment and legal penalties. edit
Laws have recently been introduced in this area in the UK. There is no information on the subject in this article about this anywhere in the world. Should the ignorance of the possibility of driving impairment due to 'normal' use of prescription codeine and the possible legal penalties be included in this article? This is complicated by the fact the the UK legal limit is in metabolised opium per litre of blood, which will vary due to genetic differences.
±? edit
What does including such mixtures as aspirin + paracetamol + codeine ± caffeine ± antihistamines and other agents
mean? How can you have negative caffeine or antihistamines? If this is a medical notation, is there a less WP:JARGONy way to say this? --Ahecht (TALK

- I think this is saying "mixtures that definitely contain aspirin, paracetamol and codeine - and may also contain caffeine and/or antihistamines".
- That is, aspirin AND paracetamol AND codeine AND/OR caffeine AND/OR antihistamines. 213.105.99.162 (talk) 16:00, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
Source for recommendation "in Europe" edit
The fifth sentence of the article is: "In Europe, it is not recommended as a cough medicine in those under 12 years of age.[4]" The source is the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists. While that source does warn against pediatric use, I cannot find anything about Europe in particular. Nothing in that source indicates that these are recommendations "in Europe". It refers to the FDA, but does not seem to refer to the EMA or any other European agency.

Codeine and allergic cough edit
Codeine definitely helps allergic cough too, as well as cough caused by mucus, in the throat, and so on. I dont see that explicitly stated anywhere in the article, so I was thinking it should be added. Also, chronic cough it definitely helps with.
About the side effects, it can cause vomiting too, but this is not stated. At high doses, it can even cause Gastritis, inflammation of the stomach. Noam111g (talk) 03:21, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
