I'm about to do the cold water extraction on 180mg codeine, and in the mix is:

9,500 mg paracetamol
90 mg Phenylephrine hydrochloride

will the CWE remove these drugs, and if not, will these drugs be dangerous to consume?

Thanks in advance!
 
you should be able to get most of the acetaminophen out, no problem, but the phenylephrine is freely soluble in water so you're probably going to end up with a fair bit of it in your codeine. i'm not sure you want to consume 90 mg of phenylephrine. can you find a different preparation without the phenylephrine to extract?

Against the advice given, I (stupdily) took the 90 mg Phenylephrine hydrochloride over a 1.5 hour period and I had no side effects apart from itchiness (from the Codeine). Thanks for the advice though :)
