Codelac - instructions for use for children and adults, indications, composition, side effects and analogues

Content

Share on VKontakte Share on Odnoklassniki Share on Facebook

Description of the combination drug Codelac - instructions for use - contains information about the component composition of the drug, which includes herbal extracts that stop the inflammatory process and make breathing easier.

The high effectiveness of the drug is confirmed by reviews, which also indicate frequent side effects.

This medicine contains the potent substance codeine, so it should be taken in strict accordance with the instructions and recommendations of the doctor.

Codelac for cough

The drug Codelac belongs to the pharmacological group of antitussives with combined action.

The main active substance codeine belongs to the class of narcotic analgesics, but compared to other representatives of this class it has a less pronounced effect of inhibiting the transmission of impulses and intestinal motility.

The drug has a strong mucolytic effect and helps remove mucus from the bronchi during a dry cough.

However, contraction of the muscles of the respiratory tract can be caused by the presence in the body of pathogenic agents that cause irritation of the tracheobronchial tree (pus, sputum, mucus), so before using cough suppressants, you must consult a doctor to diagnose the cause of the cough.

Composition and release form

Codelac is available in the form of tablets, drops, and syrup. The tablets are colored yellow or brown, with white or dark inclusions. The syrup is a thick, dark brown liquid. The drops are intended for the treatment of infants and contain a minimal dosage of codeine. According to the instructions, the medicine contains:

Substance	Characteristics
Pills
Codeine	Opium alkaloid, reduces the excitability of the cough center, has an analgesic effect
Sodium bicarbonate	Changes the acid-base balance of bronchial mucus
Licorice root powder	Medicinal plant, has expectorant properties, contains triterpene saponins, flavonoids, sterols, rutin, ascorbic acid
Lanceolate thermopsis	A poisonous plant, in small doses it has a strong expectorant and antimicrobial effect.
Auxiliary components (talc, potato starch, microcrystalline cellulose)	Designed to give the medicinal substance a given shape and consistency
Codelac syrup
Codeine phosphate	Phenanthrene alkaloid, blocks cough reflexes
Thermopsis herb extract	Stops the inflammatory process, eliminates pain
Licorice Root Extract (thick)	Plant secretolytic, stimulates respiratory tract motility
Thyme herb extract (liquid)	Expectorant of plant origin, promotes the discharge of bronchial secretions
Auxiliary components (water, sorbitol, nipazole, nipagin)	Ensure uniform consistency of the composition and preservation of medicinal properties

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

The instructions for use of the drug Codelac contain a description of the pharmacodynamics of the combined cough treatment, but data on the pharmacokinetics of the drug are not provided by the manufacturer.

The pharmacological properties of the components of the drug determine the mechanism of its action.

Thus, codeine is able to reduce the excitability of impulses of the respiratory center, but it does not inhibit the function of the ciliated epithelium of the bronchi and does not reduce the production of bronchial secretions.

The purpose of thermopsis herb is to stimulate the activity of the ciliated epithelium in order to speed up the process of removing secretions from the bronchi.

Sodium bicarbonate reduces the viscosity of mucus due to its alkalization, which facilitates the process of its evacuation.

Glycyrrhizin, contained in licorice root, is intended to enhance the activity of the epithelium lining the bronchi and accelerate the process of producing secretions that help get rid of respiratory tract irritants.

Indications for use

The reason for taking an antitussive medication is a prolonged, non-productive cough. Only a qualified specialist should determine the origin of the cough reflex and its productivity. Codelac can be prescribed by a doctor to relieve attacks of dry cough during:

• colds;
• whooping cough diseases;
• flu;
• acute respiratory viral infections;
• preparation for surgery;
• postoperative period.

How to take Codelac

The duration of the course of treatment and dosage of the drug must be indicated by the doctor in the prescription.

Instructions for use contain instructions on the method of taking tablets and syrup, depending on the age of the patient and the presence of other diseases.

Diagnosed renal dysfunction requires dose adjustment and increased intervals between drug doses. The antitussive is taken orally regardless of meal time.

Codelac tablets

The maximum permissible daily dose of codeine, according to the manufacturer's instructions, is 200 mg. Adults are recommended to take 1-3 Codelac tablets per day with a break of at least 4 hours between doses.

Due to the fact that the concentration of the active substance in the body is maintained due to modified release, the daily dose may be gradually reduced throughout the course of treatment.

The duration of therapy is determined by the doctor, often it does not exceed 5 days.

Codelac syrup

Adults and children over 3 years of age can take Codelac in syrup form. The maximum daily dose of syrup containing codeine for persons over 15 years of age is 20 ml.

For ease of taking the drug, the package contains a double-sided measuring spoon with a volume of 5 ml and 2.5 ml. You should take 1 to 3 spoons (5 ml) of medication per day an hour after meals.

The course of treatment should be no more than 5 days.

• increased intracranial pressure is a reason to refuse medication;
• the course of treatment and dosage of the drug should not exceed the recommended norms due to the fact that failure to comply with this instruction may lead to drug dependence;
• Codelac has a sedative effect, which affects concentration and the ability to drive vehicles and machines;
• the presence of codeine in the blood during doping control can be regarded as a positive result.

Codelac for children

Reviews from parents indicate that the drug has a sedative effect on the child and promotes sound and long sleep.

• for children from 2 to 5 years – 5 ml;
• for children from 5 to 8 years – 10 ml;
• for children from 8 to 15 years old – 15 ml.

Drug interactions

Group of drugs	Result of interaction with codeine
Sedatives, hypnotics	The effect of active substances and the effect produced on the body is enhanced
Centrally acting analgesics
Anxiolytics
Antipsychotic
Chloramphenicol	Enhancing the effect of codeine by inhibiting its biotransformation
Glycosides	The absorption of glycosides is enhanced

• dry mouth;
• impairment of psychomotor functions;

Reviews

Elizaveta, 26 years old The drug Codelac helped me in a week get rid of a cough that had been tormenting me for more than six months. I started taking pills after the doctor said that the attacks occur against the background of stress and are not associated with other reasons.

The sedative effect did not become a problem for me; on the contrary, my sleep became normal and my anxiety went away.
Roman, 42 years old After suffering from the flu, I developed a dry cough that did not go away. I started taking Codelac in syrup form.

This remedy has an excellent antitussive effect, which is noticeable the very next day after starting administration.
The only thing that didn’t suit me was the inability to drive the car because I was so dizzy. Yaroslava, 39 years old With my review I would like to recommend the antitussive remedy Codelac to all mothers.

Whenever my five year old son starts having a dry cough, this medicine comes to the rescue. I did not observe any side effects. The main thing is to know when to stop the cough, and when, on the contrary, to stimulate it. Better consult your pediatrician.

• Licorice root powder – 0.2 g.

Auxiliary components: talc, microcrystalline cellulose, potato starch.

Indications for use

Symptomatic treatment of dry cough of various etiologies in bronchopulmonary diseases.

Contraindications

• Bronchial asthma;
• Respiratory failure;
• Children under 2 years of age;
• Pregnancy;

It should be taken into account that the maximum single dose of codeine for adults is 0.05 g, the daily dose is 0.2 g.

In cases of using Codelac for impaired renal function, it is recommended to increase the interval between doses of tablets, since in such patients the excretion of codeine is slowed down.

Side effects

The use of Codelac may cause side effects from certain body systems:

• Central nervous system (CNS): drowsiness, headache;
• Digestive system: possible – nausea, constipation, vomiting;
• Allergic reactions: urticaria, skin itching;
• Others: it is possible to develop drug dependence on codeine with long-term use of the drug.

Drug interactions

The use of Codelac in combination with other drugs that have a depressant effect on the central nervous system is not recommended. This is due to the increased sedative effect and inhibitory effect on the respiratory center of antipsychotic drugs, anxiolytics, antihistamines, hypnotics, sedatives, and centrally acting analgesics.

1. The biotransformation of codeine is inhibited by chloramphenicol and thereby enhances its effect.

Terms and conditions of storage

Store at a temperature not exceeding 25 °C in a place protected from light, dry and out of reach of children.

Shelf life – 4 years.

pharmachologic effect

• Biologically active substances contained in thermopsis grass have a pronounced stimulating effect on the vomiting and respiratory centers. The isoquiline alkaloids contained in thermopsis increase the activity of the ciliated epithelium and enhance the functions of the bronchial glands, which significantly enhances the expectorant effect of the drug and facilitates the removal of secretions.
• Codeine belongs to the group of narcotic analgesics with a pronounced antitussive effect. The substance actively reduces the excitability of the cough center, without depressing the respiratory center, and also significantly reduces the severity of non-productive cough, regardless of its etiology.
• Sodium bicarbonate, penetrating the bronchial mucosa, changes its acid balance to the alkaline side, which contributes to a rapid decrease in the viscosity of sputum. It also has a stimulating effect on the motility of the ciliated epithelium.
• Licorice root has a pronounced expectorant effect, which effectively stimulates the work of the ciliated epithelium and significantly increases the secretory activity of the bronchial glands. Licorice root also has a mild antispasmodic effect on the smooth muscles of the bronchi.
• Reduces the excitability of the cough center and significantly facilitates the excretion of sputum. After oral administration, the therapeutic effect of the drug is observed after 50-60 minutes and lasts up to 6 hours. The drug actively affects coughs of various etiologies.
