Research Notes on Codeine Interactions
Codeine interactions include anticholinergic drugs, or other medications for pain like butorphanol, quinidine, or cimetidine. Drugs that cause drowsiness such as antihistamines, anti-seizure medications, muscle relaxants, and narcotic pain relievers can also interact with codeine. Drugs in your medicine cabinet such as cold medications may interact, as they often contain drowsiness-causing ingredients. As with any medication you should inform your health care provider of any medications or supplements that you are currently taking.1
Fast Facts:
- Doctors prescribe codeine to treat mild to moderate pain.2
- Codeine works by acting on certain areas of the brain and spinal cord to give you pain relief.1
- Codeine is a narcotic pain reliever similar to morphine.1
