Welcome to the Midlands Today podcast. In today's episode, we discuss the potential reclassification of codeine-containing medicines from over-the-counter sales to prescription-only in Ireland. This comes after internal Department of Health documents revealed the widespread reliance on these medicines and the significant amount of money Irish people spend on them. Aidan Barry will hear about the potential dangers of codeine addiction and overdose and a new hangover cure that could be a probiotic, as suggested by recent experiments conducted on mice.
