Codeine Phosphate and Asthma

[yaf_user681_12988]

Hi

I have been prescribed Di-hydrocodeine for Arthritis pain for the past 12 years or so and have experienced little to no adverse effects.

Due to changes in the medical formulary, my GP has changed my painkiller to Codeine Phosphate and i am quite cautious due to the warnings of negative interactions with Asthma.

Is anyone else taking the Co-Phos and if so have you experienced any effects? Could anyone suggest a better alternative?

Many Thanks
