I need to know if my spouse is taking a
medication containing codeine is there any
chance that this could affect me? Since he
has been on this medication seems at times
after intercourse or a kiss I will get
very dizzie and light headed just as if I
were taking something. This can be very
bad at times.

There is no chance that the medicine
(codeine) that your husband takes can harm
you. Dizziness is not caused by codeine
and codeine can’t enter into your body
by sexual intercourse or kissing.
