Doctors have issued a warning over cough medicines that contain codeine, after a teenage girl ended up seriously ill.
Cough and cold remedies which contain codeine are widely available without a prescription.
But doctors warn that there is little evidence showing benefits of codeine in cough remedies.
Writing in the journal BMJ Case Reports, they say that the risks may be ‘particularly unnecessary’ because the codeine may not even be doing anything.
Cough and cold remedies which contain codeine are widely available without a prescription. But doctors warn there is little evidence that the drug has any benefit for symptoms
The doctors, from the National University of Ireland in Galway, described the first published case of ‘confusional state’ in a healthy 14-year-old girl attributed to too much cough medicine.
The teenager, who remains anonymous, arrived at an A&E department in an Irish hospital, having been taking two or three spoonfuls of codeine cough suppressant for 15 days.
She had become confused, the authors wrote, claiming to have showered when it was obvious to her mother that she had not.
She also slept up to 20 hours a day, had a decreased attention span and suffered from intermittent headaches.
Over time, she lost the ability to create new memories.

Phensedyl Cough Linctus
Before the symptoms, the patient experienced flu-like symptoms over a 15 day period, during which she was absent from school.
Doctors said she had not exceeded the recommended daily dosage of three to six spoonfuls, but she had exceeded the maximum recommended duration of usage of three days.
Each spoonful is equivalent to 15mg of codeine, and she consumed a total of 450 to 675mg over 15 days, instead of the recommended maximum dosage of 270 mg during any given course of treatment.
A urine test reported positive for codeine, and no other drugs were present.

The doctors warn that there have been many reported child and adolescent deaths following codeine use.
They said: ‘The combination of lack of efficacy, risk of acute intoxication and dependence, suggests that the use of over the counter codeine preparations may be unwarranted.’
In the UK the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency advises that liquid cough medicines containing codeine should not be given to under-18s.
Doctors have now issued a warning over cough medicines that contain codeine, after a teenage girl ended up seriously ill from taking the remedy 2-3 times a day for two weeks (file image)
