Codeine and its alternates for pain and cough relief . 4. Potential alternates for cough relief

N B Eddy et al. Bull World Health Organ. 1969.

Abstract

In this report-the fourth of a series on codeine and its alternates for pain and cough relief-an attempt is made to evaluate, on the basis of experimental and clinical data, and wherever possible in comparison with codeine, the effectiveness of a number of antitussive substances currently in clinical use. In the discussion of the undesired side-effects particular attention is paid to the risk of dependence and abuse.
