They are just different salts of the same drug: codeine. Different salts can exhibit different dissolution properties but in this case one company chose the sulphate the other chose the phosphate.
Basically yes.
Codeine base is not very water soluble, so it may be combined with a dilute strong acid, such as sulfuric acid. This make the codeine much more soluble, but it is no longer codeine base, but codeine sulfate.
If it was hydrochloric acid used instead, you would have codeine hydrochloride instead. Acetic acid would give you codeine acetate, etc......
Gram for gram, codeine sulfate has a little less codeine then the same mass of codeine base, because some of that mass is the sulfate group (and some water molecules).
One has phosphorus and oxygen, one doesn't.
no it is not. penicillin is an antibiotic and codeine is an opiate.
What is the difference between Codeine Phosphate & Dihydrocodeine?
I dont think so.
morphine sulphate
No.
: What is the difference between codeine phosphate and co-codamol?
Yes! My mother is allergic to both.
yes
unfortunately your question is incomplete so cannot be answered. Morphine and codeine are rlated substances. Morphine Sulphate does not contain codiene as such.
Pure codeine base is not very soluble in water, and it doesn't have a very long shelf-life. Such chemicals are often salted with a dilute strong acid to make them more water soluble and increase their stability. So Codeine Sulphate is Codeine base plus a little bit of sulphuric acid.
Sometimes they are combined, but if the bottle lists only "codeine sulphate," there's no paracetamol in it. If you aren't sure, please consult the prescriber or the pharmacist/druggist/chemist.
Yes you can take both together. Paracetamol kills the pain and the penicillin kills the infection.
