What is Codeine Phosphate?

Teva-Lenoltec No. 2 15 mg tablets contain codeine phosphate, an opioid analgesic used for pain relief and cough suppression. This medication is commonly prescribed for moderate to severe pain and dry, non-productive cough.

What is Codeine Phosphate used for?

Teva-Lenoltec No. 2 15 mg tablets are primarily used for pain relief and cough suppression. Codeine phosphate, the active ingredient, is an opioid analgesic that works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord. This action helps to reduce the perception of pain and suppress the cough reflex. The medication is often prescribed for conditions that require moderate to severe pain management, such as dental pain, injuries, or post-surgical recovery. Additionally, it can be used to treat dry, non-productive coughs where other treatments have not been effective.

What are the side effects of Codeine Phosphate?

Common effects of Teva-Lenoltec No. 2 15 mg tablets may include drowsiness, dizziness, and constipation. Some users may also experience nausea, vomiting, or a feeling of lightheadedness. These effects can vary in intensity and duration depending on individual tolerance and dosage. It is important to monitor for any adverse reactions and consult a healthcare provider if severe or persistent side effects occur.

What precautions apply to Codeine Phosphate?

Teva-Lenoltec No. 2 15 mg tablets should be handled with care and stored securely to prevent misuse. This medication can cause drowsiness, so it is advisable to avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how it affects you. It is also important to follow the prescribed dosage and not to exceed the recommended amount. Pregnant women, nursing mothers, and individuals with a history of substance abuse should consult a healthcare provider before using this medication.

What does Codeine Phosphate interact with?

Teva-Lenoltec No. 2 15 mg tablets may interact with other medications, including other opioids, sedatives, and alcohol. Combining this medication with alcohol or other central nervous system depressants can enhance the sedative effects and increase the risk of respiratory depression. It is also important to inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, to avoid potential interactions.
