Pharmacists do not prescribe drugs that are prescription only in Nigeria. They may recomend and dispense OTC drugs that do not require a prescription( That is dispensing not prescribing) but where the SPC indicates POM only a doctor can prescrribe.

They certainly CANNOT PRESCRIBE Tramadol

What about cough syrup that is also abused heavily in the north?

Am sure pharmacist can't prescribe cough syrup too? undecided

Is there a chemical called cough syrup? thre are dozens of cough syrups


What ss relevant is what chemicals does it contain and what is the legal status of those chemicals

If they are POM then a prescription is manadatory but not so for OTC substances

If this is the kind of attitude u guys will put up in ur Biafra,I think it will be a terrible place. the prof pointed out that from those that have been arrested, it shows the Igbo's are the major suppliers of the drugs the youths abuse. you can't counter that observation! So what the hell are u guys ranting?! do you want them to let your brothers be simply because they are not forcing the northerners to take or abuse it? Can you say that to the Malaysian and Indian govts., argue for your brothers in different cells and have them freed?
take this biafra talk to the dustbin as I am not interested..I repeat if you are disciplined around alcohol and prescription drugs you deserve to shut up and find out why people abusing it are doing so in the firsr instance...as for the Malaysian and Indian issue wrt to this I guess you do not know the difference between legal and illegal drugs

What a clown so it's the Igbos that made you guys into junkies. Did they force money out of your pocket or drugs in your body. In order for an economic transaction to occurs you need two willing participants. You think there's no drug dealing in SE? Lol the market is just better in North because there's lots of codeine crazy folks. You don't automatically become a codeine junkie just by having a few cups. Its takes repeated use at high doses.

Worldwide, the law is much harsher on the supplier than the consumer because it recognises the pusher as the corrupter of the addict.
Your blodas have been taking advantage of the vulnerability of northern youths and therefore contributing to their addiction for profit - the authorities in Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, India and China cannot all be wrong; your ppl are a menace when it comes to the issue of drugs - deal with it.

Cough syrup is a euphemism

Is it expectorant or antitussive??

The drug has a name

Does it contain codeine or not.



Codeine is an opiate

e,g if you give socalled cough syrup with codeine to a 1 year old the child might not wake up in the morning


Doctors rarely use the term cough syrup because it is vague and meaningless
Codeine is probably better taken separately if it must be taken

You are not informed.

COUGH SYRUP is not a drug

every drug by law is found in the relevant National Formulary


there is a list of EVERY agent and its legal status i.e OTC or prescription only etc


There is nothing like "COUGH SYRUP" technically

That is a lay term

The issue here is whether a so called cough syrup contains codeine or not.

To understand this you need to undersstand the difference between antitussive and expectorant.
Codeine isan opiate drug and can be supplied in tablets separately if required if should be given separately. In fact many countries no longer permit codeine in cough syrups.

Calling it cough syrup is just ignorance but funnily you are sayng I am not informed on a subject which I can school you

whatever! whether the medication is legal or not,we all will agree that people now abuse it,leading to grave consequence. And therefore stakeholders are looking for means to address it.

Codeine based cough syrup have been banned and no longer off the counter prescription - this is Nigeria not UK or Amelica pls.
Besides; the accusation covers all other illicit drugs in which the Igbos were implicated in the research.

You have a good point. Initially, I was going to say: "nobody forced them to become junkies...", but on a deeper level, one needs to listen to the subliminal message being sent, which is: "Igbo are responsible for all your problems, from poverty to drugs abuse". In these months running up to elections, dog whistles like these need to be carefully monitored and countered.

whether other means of highness have been there before codeine,cocaine and co, what is before us is that stakeholder believe the abuse of codeine and co,is bad. And the prof. has only shown the source or suppliers of those hard drugs. U and I can not dispute that from the recent arrests made so far. drug abuse is one human issue evert sane human must condemn without sentiments of any kinds.

if they are truly concerned about their people addictions to these drugs(I actually feel it is the because the elite's kids have joined the fray)they should find out why their people are aggressively seeking out avenues to get high that highlighting just one aspect of the issue

You are not informed. We all know that people go to buy cough syrup which contains Codiene.

Nobody goes to buy Codiene for treatment of cough and no medical practitioners will prescribe Codiene or any other content found in the cough syrup rather they will prescribe a cough syrup for you to treat the cough.

u are right on that that the fundamentals be sorted. however, the issue on discourse here is the observation that some Igbo's are in the habit of selling drugs to the northern youths,which is wrong. Even though the elites are solely to blame for the ignorance of the youths,it is not enough or justifies anyone to take advantage of them. I know how many friends and cousins I have lost to hard drugs. the last one was crazy until he drank one of those rat poisons and died. some are still roaming man. the advent of this madness started when oil companies came to our community and we had influx of different people,most with evil mindset who found the booming economy in the land to make money by selling drugs.

the reason drug usage is rampant in the north is not far fetched, northern youths are undereducated while their southern counterparts are well educated and so can choose from good and bad.
the solution should be providing good education to the youths not accusing economy drivers ...the Igbo's a major blessing we have in these country.

Yeah yeah stop crying yo me about your junkie kids. I know they lack self discipline. You people want to cry victim when you went looking for the dealer. The supplier more harmful because they can be dangerous and they're making untaxed income.

Anyway one simple thing you guys should do after your done whinning is improve regulations. The medicine should be sold over counter. They should only give it out with prescription. The junkies inhabiting yiur street get them rehab. That way everyone has harder time getting codeine crazythe illegal drugs that's annother story.
