(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 metaboliser. 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.

There have been reports of hypersensitivity reactions, anaphylactic reactions, and severe skin reactions such as erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS)/toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) and acute generalised exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) associated with the administration of bromhexine. If symptoms or signs of a progressive skin rash (Sometimes associated with blisters or mucosal lesions) are present, treatment should be discontinued immediately and medical advice should be sought.
