Codeine phosphate is an opioid pain medication used to relieve moderate to severe pain. It acts on the central nervous system and changes the brain's perception of pain. This medicine is also used to treat coughs because it suppresses the cough center. In Hong Kong, codeine phosphate is usually available as a prescription drug and requires a doctor's prescription to purchase it. When using, the medication should be taken strictly in accordance with the doctor's instructions. Do not increase or decrease the dosage or extend the medication time without authorization. Long-term or excessive use can lead to serious side effects such as addiction and respiratory depression. During use, caution should be taken about possible drug interactions, especially when used concurrently with other analgesics or sedatives. If you have any adverse reactions or questions, you should consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately.

Dosage Guidelines: The starting dose for adults is 15 to 30 mg every 4 to 6 hours, but not to exceed 240 mg daily. Dosage adjustments may be necessary in older adults or in patients with certain medical conditions. The dosage for children is based on age and weight.
