More Information

Codeine is typically contraindicated in conditions where decreasing respiratory drive can be harmful. COPD, bronchitis, and cystic fibrosis are all respiratory conditions that can be aggravated by codeine. However, anemia is not a respiratory condition, thus codeine is not typically contraindicated specifically for anemia.

Tips

A common mistake is to focus only on respiratory conditions; however, the effects of codeine on respiratory drive are crucial to identify contraindications.
