What Are The Side Effects Of Codeine Phosphate Syrup?

Hello sir ! I had a codiene phosphate cough syrup for boozing last night. Before sleeping i was having problem in breathing. Last week doctor gave me a revolizer along with budamate 200 trans caps for inhaling while having problem in breathing. As instructed i used it, but it got more worst. After inhaling it my hands are shivering and i am freezing inside. Is this normal or is there anything serious? I am really very tensed now. Please help me !!!

Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your concern. Codeine phosphate is an opioid drug. The drug is also used as cough suppressant but the drug should be used for short periods of time only. The drug is known to cause significant tolerance and this may result in dependence and it has abuse potential. In individuals taking it it can cause sedation, drowsiness, dizziness, euphoria etc side effects.

Budamate consists of Formoterol and the drug is a beta agonist drug. The drug can cause increase in anxiety, restlessness, and tremors in individuals taking it. Although it can cause dilatation of bronchial muscles which results in relief of symptoms but some individuals develop the side effects you are having. As per my opinion no need to worry. If symptoms persist or increase in severity then call your doctor for help.

Thanks, Hope this helps you. Take care
