What is "codeine"?
Codeine is a medication used to relieve pain and calm coughs. It works by changing how the brain and nervous system respond to pain and irritation. Codeine is often combined with other medications to improve its pain-relieving effects. It is typically prescribed for short-term use because of its potential for addiction.
