A codeine phosphate 60mg tablet is a white, circular, biconvex opioid analgesic used for short-term relief of acute moderate pain in adults and children over 12 years old. It is less potent than morphine and is prescribed when other painkillers like ibuprofen or paracetamol alone are insufficient. Different manufacturers may produce tablets with various markings; for example, one version is embossed with “C60” on one side.
- Pain relief: Management of mild to moderate acute pain.
- Cough suppression: Used to treat a persistent, non-productive (dry) cough.
- Antidiarrheal: Provides symptomatic relief for chronic diarrhea.
Side effects
As with all opioids, codeine can cause both common and serious side effects.

Serious side effects

- Serotonin syndrome: Symptoms include agitation, confusion, fever, muscle twitching, and a fast heartbeat.
- Hypotension: Low blood pressure that can cause dizziness or fainting.

Overdose symptoms
A codeine overdose is a medical emergency. Symptoms can include:
- Pinpoint (very small) pupils
- Bluish lips and fingernails due to lack of oxygen
- Slowed, shallow, or stopped breathing
- Extreme drowsiness, stupor, or loss of consciousness
- Limp or weak muscles
- Cold, clammy skin

Important safety information
- Do not take more than the prescribed dose. Overdoses can be fatal.
- Avoid alcohol. The sedative and respiratory depressive effects of codeine are enhanced by alcohol.
- Do not drive or operate machinery until you know how this medication affects you.
- Contraindicated for some groups. This includes children under 12, breastfeeding mothers, and individuals with certain lung diseases or known hypersensitivity.
- Be aware of drug metabolism. Some individuals metabolize codeine into morphine faster or slower than average, which can impact its effectiveness or increase the risk of toxicity.
