Hi

Thanks for asking.

i do not think codeine syrup can lead to increase in the weight, although it has a big addicting potential with potential side effects on the long term use.

weight reduction involves taking less calories with exercising more to make a negative balance so that the deposited calories in the body are consumed with the reduction in the weight.

you probably need to see a dietitian to formulate a diet plan .

Thanks.
