Codeine prescriptions Posted or Updated on 3 Oct 2024

NHS has recommended that we reduce codeine and co-codamol prescriptions to smaller quantities to ensure that use is safe and appropriate. “The lowest effective dose for the shortest period of time” and that we encourage patients to use nondrug measures to help manage their pain.

For further details of the changes taking place to codeine prescriptions please download this leaflet (DOCX, 21KB)
