How Much Does It Take To Overdose On Codeine?
how much does it take to overdose on codeine? would it be blatantly obvious if someone were to get a test under the influence of 12,000 mg or parts per million of codeine? When a drug test was taken 25 days ago is there a way to discredit the results if they waited a certain number of days to test the urine? please respond asap

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Adult codeine dose is 120mg per day and in your case dose is 100 times the maximum dose. It is a fetal dose and can cause respiratory depression. Half time of codeine is around 3 ours and it take around one day to eliminate out of body. After 25 days, it would not be in blood and chances of getting negative urine test is high due to non availability of codeine in body.
Thanks
