"As if things weren’t difficult enough, the AAP Section on Anesthesiology
and Pain Medicine has published a clinical report in the September Pediatrics that aims to remind providers that it is “time to say no”
to one of the our most popular pain medications: codeine. Sadly, the
authors are not raising new concerns. Instead, they are once again
pointing out serious problems with this drug, problems we have known
about for over a decade that have resulted in deaths and inadequately
treated pain."
