Hi connie,

From my understanding there isn't a major difference at all. They are just different salts of the same drug: codeine. Different salts can exhibit different dissolution properties.

Also, because they are different brands, there may be a slight variation of inactive ingredients. Certain "inactive" ingredients that may or may not be present in each brand, are actually detrimental to how the drug is metabolized and used by your body. Because everyone is different, your body may respond favorably with one medication and not the other, due to how you feel or based on whatever side effects present themselves.

When you switch brand names or manufacturers, the drug itself doesn't change, but rather the binders or fillers that they put with it.

I hope this helps explain a few things!
