Codeine Phosphate 60mg

Codeine Phosphate 60mg – Prescription Pain Relief Tablet

Codeine Phosphate 60mg is a prescription opioid pain reliever formulated to manage moderate pain and chronic cough. It acts directly on the central nervous system to reduce pain signals and suppress cough reflexes. Often prescribed for postoperative pain, dental pain, or musculoskeletal discomfort, this medication provides effective short-term relief under professional supervision. Due to its potential for tolerance and dependency, it is classified as a Schedule II controlled substance, meaning it should only be used with a valid medical prescription. Each tablet offers reliable pain control when taken as directed by a healthcare provider. Quality-tested and available through Pills Supplies, Codeine Phosphate 60mg ensures safe and authentic access for patients seeking dependable pain management.

Tip: Always use Codeine Phosphate as prescribed and for the shortest duration necessary to minimize risk of dependence.
