Acodin is a symptomatic drug, i.e. it causes an increase in the threshold for the cough reflex. That is, the drug inhibits cough, but does not remove its cause. The pharmacokinetics of Acodin are characterized by high individual variability, so it is difficult for a bystander to propose the right dose. According to the Summary of Product Characteristics, Acodin should be taken 1 tablet. every 4 hours or 2 tabl. every 6-8 hours. If the symptoms worsen, shortness of breath or fever appear, I encourage you to make an appointment with the attending physician, who will adjust the treatment according to your current clinical condition.
