Codeine(6) [HRP]

Codeine, HRP conjugate DAG1123 Lot. No. (See product label) PRODUCT INFORMATION Product overview Codeine, HRP conjugate Antigen Description Codeine (INN) or methylmorphine is an opiate used for its analgesic, antitussive and antidiarrhoeal properties. Codeine is an alkaloid that can be extracted from opium, and most codeine is synthesized from morphine through the process of Omethylation. Codeine is mainly used as a pain reliever, and as an antidiarrhoeal agent. Codeine can be administered by many routes, this includes, SC , IM , as an enema, and orally. It is less potent than morphine and has a correspondingly lower dependence liability than morphine. Like all opiates, codeine is addictive unless used infrequently. However, the withdrawal symptoms are relatively mild and as a consequence codeine is considerably less addictive than the other opiates.

BACKGROUND Introduction Codeine or 3methylmorphine is an opiate used for its analgesic, antitussive, and antidiarrheal properties. Codeine is the secondmost predominant alkaloid in opium, at up to three percent; it is much more prevalent in the Iranian poppy (Papaver bractreatum), and codeine is extracted from this species in some places although the belowmentioned morphine methylation process is still much more common. It is considered the prototype of the weak to midrange opioids.
