Have you recently used over the counter codeine such as Mersyndol, Nurofen Plus, Panafen Plus, Panadeine or other strong pain relievers?

You are invited to take part in a research project examining the misuse of pain-killers/analgesics containing codeine and mental health and other problems.

This study will examine the use of 'over the counter' (OTC) codeine containing analgesics (e.g. Nurofen Plus*, Panafen Plus**, Panadeine*** and Mersyndol****) and examine factors that could be associated with developing problems with codeine.

The study aims to better understand the development of dependence on these drugs to inform services and prevent harm related to these products. By studying and evaluating how misuse of OTC codeine containing pain-killers occurs, we have the potential to improve health outcomes for people using these products.
