codeine
Opiate in syrup
Codeine is an opioid pain reliever derived from opium, weaker than morphine but effective for mild to moderate pain and cough suppression.
It appears in prescription medications and some over-the-counter cough syrups, depending on the country.
Like other opioids, codeine carries risks of dependence and is a controlled substance in most places.
