Consumer fact sheet: Codeine-containing medicines: Harms and changes to patient access

From February 1, 2018, codeine-containing medicines will require a prescription. This change aims to reduce harm due to codeine's addictive properties and associated health risks. Pharmacists will guide patients to safer alternatives.
