This medicine is opioid receptor agonist. According to the properties similar to morphine, but the analgesic effect is considerably weaker. This drug reduces the excitability of the cough center by stimulating the opioid receptors in neurons. To a lesser extent than morphine depresses the respiratory center. To a lesser extent inhibits intestinal peristalsis, but prolonged use can cause constipation. Myosis is weakly expressed if codeine used in therapeutic doses. Pharmacokinetics After oral administration codeine and its salts are absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Cmax in plasma is reached after 1 h. This medication metabolized in the liver by O- and N-demethylation into morphine, norcodeine and other metabolites including normorphine and hydrocodone. Codeine and its metabolites are excreted almost entirely by the kidneys, mainly as conjugates with glucuronic acid. T1/2 is 3-4 h after oral or IM administration. Why is Fludan Codeina prescribed? This medication is used to reduce or eliminate cough in bronchial and lung diseases (including with pneumonia, bronchitis, emphysema).
