Many cough preparation, especially cough suppressant, contain codeine or DXM (dextromethorphan). Codeine and other opiates are very effective cough suppressants, But they are addictive. DXM, a powerful psychoactive drug, is particularly addictive. Cough syrup abusers can obtain the drug from their doctors by complaining about cough and other cold symptoms. Addicts commonly point to three reasons for using cough syrup.

It's legal (and therefore more acceptable)
It's low-cost or free
It's seen as being safer than other drugs of abuse


Methods Use

Some addicts drink cough syrup undiluted or mixed with sodas. Others soak marijuana joints with the syrup. DXM can also be extracted from cough preparations and taken orally, injected, and occasionally freebased.

Effects on the body

Codeine, like all opiates, is very addictive, both psychologically and physically. if you use codeine and promethiazine cough syrup for a couple of weeks, everyday, you will become physically dependent on the drug. if you become physically dependent on the drug, you will need to take it every day, more than once a day, just to keep the sickness of codeine withdrawal and detoxification at bay. Although codeine is not as potent or addictive as heroin, the addiction and withdrawal symptoms share many similarities to a heroin addiction and withdrawal.
Codeine and other codeine-like drugs (narcotic drugs) can cause constipation through its action of inhibiting or slowing down gut movements.
Through this action, codeine is sometimes used as a short-term measure to treat diarrhea.
Codeine consumption is habit-forming and can cause dependence.
Codeine can be safely stopped as soon as relief of symptoms is achieved.


Addicts take at least one 60ml to 100ml bottle a day to give hallucinatory feelings

Due to the high rate of cough mixtures with codeine, efforts are made by pharmaceutical companies and the government to curb it by increasing the price of the substances.

If you first hear of pneumothorax, what will first come to your mind. pneumothorax, is the combination of pneumonia and the thorax or let me say thoracic cavity. pneumonia is simply defined as the lung infection or the inflammation of the lung, you may cough, have fever and have difficulty in breathing. the thorax is between the neck and the abdomen, its contains the heart, lungs, ribs and sternum. 


Now I have given you a brief overview of the break down of pneumonia and thorax, now let us defined pneumothorax.  I will simply put it as the collapse of the lungs. it is caused when an air leaks into the space between your lungs and chest walls or you can simply say pleural space. Air can find its way into the pleural space when there’s an open injury in your chest wall or a tear or rupture in your lung, disrupting the pressure that keeps your lungs inflated, This air pushes on the outside of your lung and makes it collapse. it can be caused by a blunt or penetrating chest injury, certain medical procedures, or damage from underlying lung disease. Or it may occur for no obvious reason.

Now we have gotten some definitions now let us talk about it symptoms, risk factors, diagnosis and treatment.....

1. The overall physical, mental and social health status
2. Life expectancy
3. Preventable death
4. Quality of life
5. Prevention of disease
6. Detection and treatment of illness

In a community with over 2500 women plus 3000 women in its neighbouring villages, it's so saddening that there is  just one Maternity center available to provide maternal health services.


Enuwa Health Center is located in Osun State, Nigeria, a State many believe to be the cradle of the Yoruba race.

The Health Center was commissioned in 1959, and has since then remain the only source of maternal health in the community, this single fact earned it it's name as "olomowewe" a Yoruba word meaning (mother of little kids).
