Describe codeine Codeine is used to alleviate pain ranging from mild to severe. Additionally, it is used to reduce coughing, usually in combination with other medications. Codeine will help with symptom alleviation, but it won't deal with the underlying causes of the symptoms or speed up the healing process. In addition to acting as an antitussive, codeine belongs to the group of medications known as opiate (narcotic) analgesics. When codeine is used to treat pain, the brain's and nervous system's responses to pain are changed. By lowering activity in the part of the brain that causes coughing, codeine helps to reduce coughing. Visit us: www.opioidstores.com
