What is Codeine Phosphate 30mg?

Prescription opioid drugs called codeine phosphate 30 mg tablets are used to treat moderate to severe pain when other analgesics do not work. They might also be used for chronic, dry coughs. In order to alter how the body perceives pain and inhibit the cough reflex, codeine acts on the central nervous system.

How It Works

By attaching itself to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, codeine phosphate modifies the body’s perception and reaction to pain. Additionally, it relieves dry, persistent coughs by suppressing the cough reflex by working on the cough center of the brain.
