Codeine Cough Syrup Drug Test.
Codeine Cough Syrup is a mildly addictive narcotic substance. It is used as a reliever of cough and cold and also as an analgesic i.e. painkiller. It is similar to, but less strong than morphine. It is known to relieve mild to moderate pain. It suppresses cough by depressing the central pathways of the cough reflex in the brain. The problem with codeine is that it can cause you to test positive in a drug test.
Codeine can be detected in the drug urine test for up to a period of 1 week after it is consumed. If you have problems like cough, cold or some pain related troubles then it is better option to go for non codeine cough syrups and painkillers. In case you are advised to use codeine containing cough syrups or painkillers then always insist on using it under prescription. Many non codeine cough – cold syrups and painkillers are available.
Apart from threatening to destroy your career, consumption of codeine also has some other undesirable effects. The worst of all is that it is addictive and therefore can and does induce dependence. Codeine is very popular as an addictive and narcotic substance among teenagers of Malaysia. It is also reported to be used by many school going kids to get high. Other drug addicts who do not get their regular drug also use codeine based cough syrups as a temporary measure. Over use of codeine based cough syrups cause constipation that ironically make it a short term treatment for diarrhea. When consumed in greater amounts than what is prescribed, it also causes irregular breathing or respiratory depression, severe drowsiness i.e. central nervous system depression or even loss of consciousness.
However, these effects are only due to the abuse of codeine based cough syrups i.e. over use or use without proper medical guidance. When used in accordance with recommended dosages, it gives good positive results. Typically, codeine starts to act within 30 to 60 minutes of its consumption and these effects last for about 4 to 6 hours. And anyway, if you are using it under medical prescription there is nothing to worry about. The problem exists only if you are abusing it.It is really difficult to pass a drug test if you are abusing it.
