OK, so I’m going to write a prescription for codeine tablets for your cough. Now these take two to three hours to have an effect, and they might cause constipation and also drowsiness if you exceed the dose or if you drink alcohol while taking the medication. So, come back in a week’s time if your cough doesn’t get better or if you if start to notice any disagreeable side effects. Remember to follow the required dosage and be careful not to drink alcohol while taking the tablets. Can you just summarise what I have told you so that I can see that you have all the information and understand what you have to do? |
