The solution thus is that codeine is bioactivated by CYP2D6 into morphine, certain patients show an ultrarapid form of this metabolism, which leads to a life-threatening intoxication see Gasche et al.

The 100-patient analysis found that 1 percent of the patients could be regarded as "poor metabolizers" (two reduced-function gene components), 29 percent were "intermediate", 37 percent were "extensive" (two normal functioning gene components) and 33 percent were "ultrarapid" metabolizers of CYP2C19.

Codeine should be phased out due to the dangers for some people who are "ultrarapid metabolizers," meaning their bodies break down the drug far more quickly, leading to a toxic accumulation.

The chance of being an ultrarapid metabolizer varies among different populations.
-
But some people are ultrarapid metabolizers, meaning their bodies break codeine down far faster than most, leading to a toxic accumulation of morphine that can be deadly.

On the other hand, an ultrarapid metabolism can lead to insufficient drug plasma concentration, resulting in failure of treatment, or it can lead to high concentrations of active/toxic metabolites.
