Hello,

Codistar contains codeine+chlorpheneramine which has addiction potential.

Since you have been using the pretty large amount of the Codistar for a long time, it can be very difficult to come off of it as you may experience withdrawal symptoms.

You can try reducing the dose of Codistar intake gradually over a period of a few weeks before stopping it completely.

If you find it difficult to do it on your own, it is best to seek medical help.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Lekshmi Rita Venugopal, General & Family Physician
