The expiration date dictates that the drug will still be as potent as when manufactured. But there are also drugs that tend to break down and become toxic after passing their expiration date. That's why it's not a good idea to take expired drugs. |

Doc is not FOS his is CYA. Codeine was moved from a CIII to a CII by the FDA. Meaning that a mild opiod that canada and 90% of the world deem OTC is treated liked morphine. This means that ink signature and 30 day follow ups are necessary. Therefore due to legal reasons you have been moved from a acute cold patient to a druggie. Welcome to the advances of affordable modern medicine under our dear leader. FBHO codeine in combination products is not C2 and the FDA doesn't have authority to change any classification of controlled status. they can and do make recommendations to the DEA to change them. your state legislature could have made it c2 in PA or the DEA can change the schedule federally. promethazine with codeine is federally schedule 5 and can be sold over the counter in some states. |

Welcome to the advances of affordable modern medicine under our dear leader. FBHO You're only partly correct. Plain codeine by itself is a schedule II drug while codeine containing products are CIIIs. So the rest of your statement is not correct. Doctors don't like to be told what to prescribe. That's what's wrong with people, they want to tell the doctor how to do their job. If you want someone to suggest something good, speak to a pharmacist. We're much more knowledgeable than doctors in regards to drugs. |

Welcome to the advances of affordable modern medicine under our dear leader. FBHO You're thinking hydrocodone which was recently moved from Schedule III to Schedule II, even if it contains Tylenol. Codeine with Tylenol is still Schedule III and codeine without Tylenol has been Schedule II all along. It's not common, but some doctors will prescribe pure codeine tablets to avoid the Tylenol. Moving hydrocodone with Tylenol (Vicodin) to Schedule II recently has been a huge pain in the ass for those of us that prescribe it, and it won't change how much is diverted to illicit use.

My wife is a pharmacist. It is legal and OTC in Ohio. Thing is, most places won't carry it and the ones that do will rarely give it out (4oz at a time I think) unless they have known you for a long time.
It is the only thing that will work or me an my wife even has a hard time getting it. Prescription drug abuse is probably worse than illegal drug use in Ohio and it isn't just the big cities. Our rural county with 24K people (15K of them in the county seat) is fourth worst in the state.

Doctors don't want to prescribe any narcotics anymore because of the legal risk due to rampant abuse.
Codeine absolutely works as will any narcotic to stop coughing as it is a CNS depressant. In low doses, they suppress the nerve irritation which stimulates the cough. An old wives remedy to a nagging cough, especially at night (post nasal drip) is to put Vicks Vapo-Rub on your feet. I tried it, it works great. Another one I read recently is to eat fresh pineapple as it is rich in Bromelain. |

There are some studies that show that codeine cough syrup is equivocal for treating coughs. I take that to mean that some patients get a benefit and some don't. It won't make you get better any faster. But opioids definitely suppress cough.
Abuse is definitely on the list of why doctors often won't prescribe it. I don't have a problem with some one who gets a script of Phenergan with Codeine or Cheratussin once a year. But when patients come in asking for Tussionex and say "it's the only thing that works", this raises a red flag. Not all of them are drug-seekers, but some of them are. There is also a unique issue with codeine. There are 3 types of metabolizers. Slow, normal, and fast. Codeine is metabolized in your body to morphine. If you're a fast metabolizer and you take a bit more than you need, all that codeine turns into morphine quickly and it's possible to overdose and stop breathing. More likely if you also use alcohol or take benzodiazepines. If you have a really productive cough and are bringing up lots of phlegm, it's a good idea to keep coughing and get it out. If it's a dry, naggy cough, I usually try to suppress those. I worked a shift in urgent care and saw about 20 people with the flu yesterday. I probably wrote 10-12 scripts of phenergan with codeine. Everyone gets my little talk about using it safely, but I write it quite frequently in the cold and flu season. This is just general medical info. It's always a good idea to discuss these issues with your doctor. |

They prescribed this stuff called cherrytusin or some shit. That stuff was about as strong as the shit you get OTC. I had some codeine left from a knee surgery in 2004,yes 2004, and started using it along with the cough syrup. I finally got relief after 3 weeks of wanting to die. You used a controlled substance from an expired prescription? Calling the cops right now. eta: That was satire, btw. Guess I have to say that around here. While you are joking, I do wonder if it is in fact illegal? From a safety standpoint, Tylenol and codeine are both chemically stable and should be good for many years past the expiration date, but we can't tell that to the patient. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile It is illegal. Same as taking a narcotic off the street. Do you have a link? It would be another reason to justify no-knocks. Raid the house and look for any expired medication in the medicine cabinet. But to do that they'd need probable cause that there's illegal drugs in the house (or at least a hobo who will tell a cop that there are illegal drugs in the house for $50). That's why we must require all doctors to inform all levels of law enforcement when their patients' prescriptions expire. We need to give the police the tools they need to get these dangerous illegal drugs (that just happened to have been legally prescribed and purchased) off the streets using whatever ineffective and unnecessarily violent means necessary! |

Someone has been paying attention.  Obamacare is about control, not about health care. Virtually all prescriptions are already electronic. Once they are all electronic/computerized, the social engineering will continue. Prescription expiration will be tracked. Certain drugs will carry certain restrictions. It can make you drowsy? Temporary suspension of your driver's license for society's safety.

No one group of idiots should be able to "ruin it for everyone".
Doctors should be able to deal with patients one on one. If someone wants to pump shit into their body til their dead, let em. |

My doctor offered to prescribe codeine cough syrup for me a few weeks ago when I had bronchitis, but I don't take it because it screws up my stomach so he prescribed Benzonatate pills which worked pretty good.

I thought you could still get cough syrup with codine in the US by the pharmacists discretion. You had to go up and ask for it at the counter, like getting ephedrine.

In some states that is still the case. I believe it's completely OTC in Canada - cough syrups and pain pills that contain 1/8 grain of codeine with aspirin. |

Yeah, both are legal in Canada, though I think some places have started making you ask for it. The codeine pain pills are supposed to work really well. |
