Genistein Combined Polysaccharide Overview

Genistein combined polysaccharide is a supplement that comes from soybeans and mushrooms. It has genistein, a plant chemical that acts like estrogen (i.e., a phytoestrogen), and polysaccharide, a kind of sugar that helps the immune system. Genistein combined polysaccharide is made by mixing soy extract with a group of mushrooms called basidiomycetes. People take genistein combined polysaccharide to prevent and treat different kinds of cancer, especially those that are affected by hormones, such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, and bladder cancer. Some research suggests that genistein may stop cancer cells from growing, kill them, cut off their blood supply, lower inflammation, and balance hormone levels but more research is needed to make sure genistein combined polysaccharide is safe and effective for different health problems.

Codeine Phosphate Overview

  • Codeine is used to relieve mild to moderate pain. It is also used, usually in combination with other medications, to reduce coughing. Codeine will help relieve symptoms but will not treat the cause of symptoms or speed recovery. Codeine belongs to a class of medications called opiate (narcotic) analgesics and to a class of medications called antitussives. When codeine is used to treat pain, it works by changing the way the brain and nervous system respond to pain. When codeine is used to reduce coughing, it works by decreasing the activity in the part of the brain that causes coughing.

  • Codeine is also available in combination with acetaminophen (Capital and Codeine, Tylenol with Codeine), aspirin, carisoprodol, and promethazine and as an ingredient in many cough and cold medications. This monograph only includes information about the use of codeine. If you are taking a codeine combination product, be sure to read information about all the ingredients in the product you are taking and ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
