Codeine
Codeine is prepared as codeine phosphate. It is usually taken in a compound remedy, 30mg to 500mg of paracetamol for example. Dihydrocodeine is a much stronger preparation which is also used in 30mg doses.
How it works
Codeine is a member of the opiate family. It inhibits activity of neurotransmittors in the brain and the spinal cord. This means that it affects all autonornic activities - digestion, breathing and heart rate, as well as the reception of pain messages in the brain.
