        On the other hand the amount of codeine in OTC meds is said to be sub-therapeutic. The placebo effect.

        on this you're wrong. Dose of codeine in OTC meds offers no pain relief over analgesic it's combined with.

        when the people making the decision don't or have never suffered chronic pain then the outcome is not surprising

        Nothing helps GPs keep their income up more than unnecessary visits for repeat prescriptions.

        I agree. Not only will buying it cost more at pharmacy, but add cost of Dr's visit and day off work to go to Dr.

        Literally tens of thousands of overdose deaths per year from opioids in USA. Similar probs in Aus. Opioids ineffective for chronic pain.

        All it does is give people a high so they take megadoses, OD on ibuprofen & sometimes die. #codeine

        How does making it prescription change your claims? Taking panadeine for years and never taken "megadose"

        it's not a ban - it's a reclassification based on evidence of harm. FFS.
