Acetaminophen and Codeine Phosphate Tablets, USP
Analgesic-Antipyretic
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Acetaminophen and codeine phosphate are analgesic, antipyretic agents.
ACTION
Acetaminophen, and codeine phosphate combine the analgesic effects of
the centrally acting
analgesic codeine, with a peripherally acting analgesic,
acetaminophen.
Acetaminophen, and codeine phosphate are well absorbed orally.
Acetaminophen is distributed throughout most tissues of the body.
Acetaminophen is metabolized
primarily in the liver. Little unchanged drug is excreted in the
urine, but most metabolic products
appear in the urine within 24 hours.
Codeine retains at least one-half of its analgesic activity when
administered orally. A reduced first-
pass metabolism of codeine by the liver accounts for the greater oral
potency of codeine when
compared to most other morphine-like narcotics. Following absorption,
codeine is metabolized by
the liver and metabolic products are excreted in the urine.
Approximately 10% of the administered
codeine is demethylated to morphine, which may account for its
analgesic activity.
PHARMACOKINETICS
Following oral administration of acetaminophen in combination with
codeine, both drugs are rapidly
absorbed with peak plasma levels occurring within 60 minutes.
The plasma elimination half-life (t
1/2
) ranges from 1.5 to 3.5 hours for acetaminophen, and 1.5 to 4
hours for codeine. Metabolism is rapid; the principal metabolites are
conjugates of glucuronic acid
which are excreted in the urine. Less than 1% of an administered dose
of codeine, and less than 4%
of an administered dose
