Codeine acts on the brain to suppress the cough reflex, which reduces the urge to cough. It also has a mild pain-relieving effect that can help to soothe a sore throat associated with coughing. However, it is important to use codeine with caution and as directed by a doctor, as it can have side effects and the potential for addiction.
