Answers: What could overuse of Codeine effect in your body?

I noticed you also asked about kidney failure. To answer your question straight on, too much codeine is just toxic period. It can eventually cause irreversable shut down of organs, especially your liver and kidneys. You can look for more information on webmd.com to see the specifics.

Codeine is usually given with aspirin, ibuprofen, etc. They also damage your liver. There is no specific time frame, but more on the health of your liver...all meds are metabolized in the liver; alcohol intake; fatty, fried foods, being overweight can damage your liver.

Brain is damaged by long time use of codeine...impaired memory; concentration; attention span; brain fog; etc.

Codeine is a central nervous system depressant which affects blood pressure; slows heart; breathing, etc.

Too much codeine can cause renal failure.
Take as instructed. If pain persists, please see your doctor!

It sounds too much because its 5 out of 7 days. this sounds like chronic pain. It needs to be investigated.

Please take care
