Simple solution...policy declaration banning codeine...we have other effective alternatives. But then it’s a cash cow for the so called policy makers. PCN, NAFDAC, FMOH all complicit.

codein is part of the ingredient and is an opiod. Opiod acts in thesame way cocaine act on the body. That is why it causes thesame euphoria effects as cocaine. It is cheap and easily accessible compared to cocaine hence the patronage. The advantage is that at little quantity it has therapeutic effect that heals cough but at high dose it cause damage unlike cocaine that causes damage even at low doses

Even students in kano abuse this drug, as if this is even higher among females. When you see someone walking around with a bottle of la casera with a red eye..... Red flag!

Now,here is the drill: Until a few years back I was thinking like you...until the beautiful word 'research suddenly jumped into my dictionary from nowhere. When you abuse a seemingly 'harmless' substance-whatever that substance is-it becomes very harmful.

Indeed,the old maxim holds true: too much of everything is bad.

Now,go and Google codeine. Do some research of your own.

I guess emzor competitors sponsored this research.

Codeine abuse is Present in nigeria with %80 of its consumption being in the north. This people get high on all sorts of codeine from benelyn , tutolyn and co. Using emzor as the title topic is very biased .

Some buffoons don't know that d useless Sharia law is d major cause of codeine epidemic in this country, when beer n alcoholic drinks are haram, what would folks take to ginger their swagger?? Check everywhere there's codeine abuse and it's mostly Muslim communities.
Nonsense.

Emzor, is and Igbo Christian company capitalizing on the exploitation of human health and social well being. The company is owned by a well trained health professional who knows that every medicine can be a dangerous drug. But these evil persons are happy to sell a “ a million cartons”of codeine syrup in one week. What is the difference between them and the criminals dealing in crack cocaine? They are firing one man for revealing there secret . That’s nothing , Emzor have to be prosecuted.

80% consumption is in the North and 90% of the evil people selling the drugs in those quantities are from your region. Firing one man is not enough, Emzor have to be prosecuted. They are not different from any crack dealer. NDLEA has to come in. We expects arrrests to be made based on this documentary.

They've given the drug bad name. Once you go to chemist and ask for cough syrup. They start looking at you like a junkie.
