Codeine is one of the primary ingredients in a number of prescription cough medicines. Until February 1, 2018, Codeine was also available in many over-the-counter medications as well. Codeine is still easily accessible in most areas of the United States, despite increasing restrictions on its sale. While Codeine is not considered to be as addictive or dangerous as many other Opioids, it is still commonly abused. The greatest danger posed by Codeine is that it is a very common gateway drug into harder Opioids.
