My roommate has been addicted to taking Corex syrup and Spasmo Proxyvon Plus capsules since 1994, using fixed doses daily for many years. He does not consume alcohol or other substances and is now willing to quit. What are the possible long-term health risks of this habit, and what is the safest way for him to stop and recover?
Long-term use of these medications, which contain habit-forming ingredients such as codeine and tramadol, may lead to dependence, hormonal imbalance, and chronic respiratory problems. The paracetamol in Spasmo Proxyvon Plus capsules may also cause liver and kidney damage. After thirty years of use, stopping these medicines suddenly can lead to severe withdrawal symptoms, so it is important that he consults a doctor for a carefully planned, gradual dose reduction. Regular monitoring, counselling, and supportive medicines can help him recover safely and reduce the risk of relapse.
