Codeine Phosphate 60mg Tablet

Buy Codeine Phosphate 60mg Tablets Online UK

Codeine Phosphate 60mg Tablets are a prescription-only pain relief medication used to manage moderate to severe pain, particularly when other painkillers like ibuprofen or paracetamol are not effective. Codeine is an opioid analgesic that works by altering the way the body senses and responds to pain, helping users feel more comfortable and improving their ability to function in daily life.

This medication is commonly prescribed for a variety of painful conditions such as muscle injuries, dental pain, arthritis, nerve pain, and post-surgical discomfort. Codeine 60mg is also sometimes used to relieve severe coughing or diarrhoea, though in lower doses.

Buy Codeine Phosphate 60mg in the UK

Codeine Phosphate 60mg Tablets are available to buy online through licensed UK pharmacies such as UK Sleep Well. A valid prescription is required, as this is a controlled medicine in the UK. These tablets offer stronger pain relief than lower doses (such as 15mg or 30mg), and are typically used in patients who require more advanced pain management.

It is important to use this medicine exactly as directed by your doctor. Taking more than the recommended dose can lead to serious health risks including dependency, drowsiness, or breathing difficulties.

How long does Codeine Phosphate 60mg take to work?

Codeine usually starts working within 30 to 60 minutes of taking a tablet. Its pain-relieving effects typically last between 4 to 6 hours. This makes it suitable for scheduled pain control, especially after surgery or during recovery from injury.

Precautions to avoid overdose and dependency

As an opioid, Codeine carries a risk of dependency if misused or taken for long periods without supervision. Always follow your prescribed dosage, and never combine Codeine with alcohol or sedatives. Taking higher doses can lead to serious side effects including slowed breathing, confusion, or unconsciousness.

Stopping Codeine suddenly after regular use may cause withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, irritability, sweating, or insomnia. If you need to stop taking it, your doctor will guide you through a gradual reduction.

Further information about Codeine Phosphate 60mg

Codeine is often prescribed for short-term use in patients with pain that cannot be managed by standard medications. It may be used alone or alongside paracetamol, depending on the treatment plan. Codeine Phosphate 60mg is a stronger dosage, generally given to adults who need higher pain relief and have previously tolerated lower doses well.

This medication is not suitable for children or individuals with certain conditions such as respiratory disorders, head injuries, or a history of substance misuse. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should only use Codeine if advised by a specialist.

How does Codeine Phosphate 60mg work in the body?

Codeine works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord. This action reduces the feeling of pain and alters emotional responses to discomfort. Codeine also has mild cough-suppressing and anti-diarrheal effects due to its ability to reduce nerve sensitivity in the gut and throat.

Expected side effects

Some patients may experience side effects while using Codeine 60mg. Common effects include:

• Drowsiness or tiredness

• Constipation

• Dry mouth

• Dizziness

• Nausea or vomiting

• Slower reaction times

If side effects become bothersome or severe, seek medical advice. Rare but serious side effects include breathing problems, allergic reactions, or signs of overdose.

Recommended dosage

The usual adult dose is one 60mg tablet every 4 to 6 hours as required, but no more than 240mg in 24 hours. Always take Codeine with water and food to reduce the chance of nausea. Do not crush or chew the tablets.

If you miss a dose, skip it and take the next one at the usual time. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed tablet.

Precautions to consider

Before using Codeine Phosphate 60mg, inform your doctor of any other medications you are taking, especially sedatives, antidepressants, or other opioids. Avoid driving, operating machinery, or making important decisions if you feel drowsy after taking this medicine.
