WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Codeine is transformed to morphine in the liver by an enzyme. Morphine
is the 
substance that produces pain relief. Some people have a variation of
this enzyme 
and this can affect people in different ways. In some people, morphine
is not 
produced or produced in very small quantities, and it will not provide
enough pain 
relief. Other people are more likely to get serious side effects
because a very high 
amount of morphine is produced. If you notice any of the following
side effects, you 
must stop taking this medicine and seek immediate medical advice: slow
or shallow 
breathing, confusion, sleepiness, small pupils, feeling or being sick,
constipation, 
lack of appetite.
