it depends on your CYP2D6 Expression on weather or not codeine would be good. this means how active your CYP2D6 Enzyme is, because it is through this mechanism which your body converts inactive codeine to active morphine. This is genetic. some people have high CYP2D6 Activity, some people low, and some people seriously low. this is why codeine works great for some, ok for others, and hardly at all for others. There is no way to know, youd just have to give codeine a try

a drug that is inactive until it is metabolised to another drug is known as a prodrug

Have you tried regular old cough syrup with Dextromethorphan in it? you must take care in buying a medicine that has DXM in it only as you dont want to be needlessly taking drugs for symptoms that dont exist
