Abstract

Investigations in pharmaceutical stocks of drugs have shown a non conformity with registred theorical stocks. This leads us to study the volatilisation of codeine stored in safety boxes suggest adding the mention "slightly efflorescent" to the usual characteristics of codeine found in the monography of the French Pharmacopoea as mentionned by LEBEAU and JANOT.

Poppy seeds: implications of consumption.

Three white poppy seed samples of Papaver somniferum L were found to contain total morphine (free and bound) in the range 58.4 to 62.2 micrograms/g seeds and total codeine (free and bound) in the range 28.4 to 54.1 micrograms/g seeds. Soaking seeds in water was found to remove 45.6 per cent of the free morphine and 48.4 per cent of the free codeine. In ingesting a curry meal or two containing various amounts of washed seeds (morphine intake: 200.4 to 1002 micrograms; codeine intake: 95.9 to 479.5 micrograms), the urinary morphine levels were found to be in the range 0.12 to 1.27 micrograms/ml urine and urinary codeine levels in the range 0.04 to 0.73 micrograms/ml urine. In any large scale screening for abuse of opiate drugs, the possibility of urinary alkaloids arising from consuming food containing poppy seeds must be considered and, if possible, eliminated.
