Review regulation of over the counter medicines containing codeine

Petition Details

Codeine can have several adverse side effects, including addiction and long-term health problems, yet medicines containing codeine are available over the counter. We want a review of regulation of over the counter medicines containing codeine, to look at how to better protect the public from harm.
