Codeine guaiacol linctus

I just procured a bottle of codeine linctus but it also contains something called guaiacol. The dosages are 7mg codeine and 75mg guaiacol per 5ml.

Does anybody know anything about this guaiacol stuff and what are the effects and would it be reasonably safe to drink the stuff in large amounts?

The solution is called pulmo bailly.
 
I buy the same stuff sometimes, usually to tide me over for a day if I haven't got any oxy, or am low.

Or sometimes just to top my OC rx up a bit for the odd dose when it just isn't enough to cover my hip pain. Tastes filthy though. Revolting stink to it, and vile astringent taste. Helpful though from time to time.
 
Cheers for the reply, how much would you normally drink of the stuff, do you drink it straight or water it down like instructions say?

Ohh and does guaiacol have any noticeable side effects?

I know of sulfogaiacol, which comes with the codeine pills I used to take at high doses, and I didn't notice any side effects from this substance. It is an expectorant, which means it helps getting rid of the bronchial secretions when you cough.

However, no drug is safe at (very) high doses, and it must not be good for your lungs in the long run if you drink litres of the linctus on a regular basis. Be safe.
 
Guaiacol is an expectorant. The glycerin ether of guaiacol is the drug guaifenesin, I assume they're pretty much the same.

Side-effects include nausea, vomiting, kidney stones, diarrhea, constipation, dizziness, headaches, drowsiness, dry mouth and chapped lips. Some people may also be allergic to it. Most people tolerate is quite well when taken in recommended doses. Side effects are more prevalent with high doses or prolonged use. Drinking a glass of water with it is highly recommended. Water helps to reduce the risk of kidney stones, dry mouth, chapped lips, and increases the effectiveness of the drug in hydrating mucus. And keep well-hydrated when taking it. Taking it with food helps reduce nausea.
 
It did the job but my god it was the hardest thing I have ever had to drink!
 
Guaiacol smells so foul.

It's also a super solvent and smells like horribly cheap thai iced tea syrup

Guaifenesin is not safe in excess amounts, you should never consume huge amounts of cough syrups containing guaifenesin. The ratio of codeine seems pretty poor, I would not dose more than 100ml.
 
I just drank 90mls of the stuff ease w/d symptoms, didn't want to drink to much the stuff just be safe, I'm sure it didn't much to my stomach.

Also your dead right about blowing chunks, I was coughing up serious amount of phlegm for the next 2 days!!
 
Mein gott, that stuff is fucking awful tasting though.

I use it for the same reason, to ease withdrawal. One of the GPs at the practise I go to to see my GP, expects, somehow, a 7-day oxycontin script, to last me as long as 10 fucking days, the paki prick. EVERY time I cannot get an appt with anybody else and am forced by necessity to see this twat, I get left without. Now I have to do 4 days withdrawing. Going to be stocking up on this stuff.

I prefer to use it to block metabolic degradation of morphia though, when this arsebag leaves me to hang.
Dyscalculic I may be, but if SEVERAL people confirm that a 7-day rx is due, then as far as I'm fucking concerned, then it shouldn't have to last me 10 days!

Hades!, it scarcely lasts me the 7, if I wish to be able to walk. And that is IV use, at the recommended dosage for per os dosing. If I want to go hiking, then I either shoot a minimum of three times that, or I simply don't go. Can't wait to be able to go mushroom hunting again. But thanks to this arsehole, I had to take out a payday loan simply to be able to walk. Let alone walk 20-30 miles at a time.

Going to be stocking up on the stuff tomorrow as soon as the pharmacies open. It does mean walking, sans ANY pain meds whatsoever, for many miles, but I have sod all choice in that.

It does make me really, really REALLY nauseous, IF I am already so. If my stomach is fine, then its fine, but if I am queasy already then oh boy, it isn't pretty.

My typical dose, is about 4-5 bottles at a time, if I can get that many. Pharmacies will only sell a single bottle per, unless the pharmacist is new and inexperienced. I have to walk ages, round loads of them to get enough to ease withdrawals. My tolerance is 80mg of oxy per day (minimum, IV use)
 
Man that sounds awful, I can't imagine drinking 4/5 bottles of that stuff,

I was lucky it was only a once off, I live in the Republic of Ireland and we have pure codeine cough bottles otc that contain a convenient 450 mgs of pure codeine with no other active ingredients!
