GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS
Codeine is an alkaloid found naturally in opium in concentrations ranging from 0.7 to 2.5 percent. It is commercially synthesized from morphine. It is the most widely used drug among the morphine class of compounds used in a variety of pharmaceuticals including analgesics, antiperistaltics, antitussive agents, hypnotics, and sedatives. Codeine is an opioid analgesic related to morphine but with less potential analgesic property and mild sedative effect. Dihydrocodeine, called also drocode, is a similar opioid analgesic with pharmaceutical action with codeine. It is known it has approximately twice potentiality. It has also been used as an antitussive.
