Information Update

Health Canada’s review recommends codeine be used in patients aged 12 and over

Health Canada has reviewed the safety of prescription pain and cough medications containing codeine and is no longer recommending their use in children less than 12 years of age. This recommendation is based on very rare cases of serious side effects and deaths in children that have been attributed to codeine, when given directly to a child, or to babies from breast milk.
