(i) Codeine is contraindicated for all children younger
than 12 years of age.
(ii) Codeine should only be used to treat acute moderate pain in children above 12 years of age, and only if it cannot be relieved by other painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen.
(iii) Codeine is contraindicated for post-operative management in children younger than 18 years of age following tonsillectomy and/or adenoidectomy.
(iv) Avoid the use of codeine in adolescents 12 to 18 years of age who have other risk factors that may increase their sensitivity to the respiratory depressant effects of codeine unless the benefits outweigh the risks. Risk factors include conditions associated with
hypoventilation, such as postoperative status, obstructive sleep apnea, obesity, severe pulmonary disease, neuromuscular
disease, and concomitant use of other medications that cause respiratory depression.
(v) Codeine should not be used in people of any age who are known to be ultra-rapid metabolisers. Because of the potential for serious adverse reaction, including excess sedation, respiratory depression, and death in a breastfed infant, breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment with codeine.

This may cause drowsiness. If affected, do not drive or operate machinery.

It is dangerous to exceed the stated dose.
