What Are The Side Effects Of Codeine?
I'm 17, around 140-160 lbs not too sure and I'm 5 feet 10 inches. I've had asthma and testicular torsion...can't remember anything else too serious beyond that. I've been prescribed Benadryl with codeine for a sore throat, cough & chest cold as well as Levofloxacin, Dexamethasone & Cataflam. I've been reading however that codeine is very dangerous. Any advice?
