Codeine phosphate is an opioid pain medication used to relieve mild to moderate pain. This medication changes the perception of pain in the central nervous system and reduces the discomfort caused by coughing. Codeine phosphate is also used to treat diarrhea because it slows intestinal motility. In Hong Kong, codeine phosphate is usually used as a prescription drug and must be used under the guidance of a doctor to avoid the risks of improper use or abuse. People with breathing problems, intestinal obstruction, severe liver or kidney problems, or alcohol abuse should avoid using this drug. You should follow your doctor's advice during use and avoid exceeding the recommended dosage to avoid adverse reactions or addiction problems. If you have any adverse reactions or questions, you should consult your doctor immediately.
