The process for extracting opioids from products which also contain ibuprofen is much easier than that of paracetamol, but the products are usually more expensive per mg of codeine. The starting material in this example is a box of the popular brand Nurofen+, using 32 tablets each containing 12.8mg codeine phosphate and 200mg ibuprofen. It is not essential to use a freezer to cool the mixture, but it will certainly speed up the separation process and ensure that a minimal amount of ibuprofen is left in the final extract.
The tablets are removed from the package and dropped into a small amount of warm water. Once the tablets have absorbed the water, they will swell up and can now be easily mixed with a fork. At this point, the product is ready for extraction.
Add a minimal amount of cold water to the mixture and agitate to help dissolve the codeine.
Leave the mixture to settle for about 30 minutes in the freezer.
After cooling the mixutre, remove it from the freezer. The insoluble ibuprofen and binders will be the bottom layer of the container, and the aqueous codeine solution will be at the top of the container. A white skin may form above the aqueous layer; this skin is not toxic but can be removed with a spoon if preferred.
Using a syringe or dropper, the aqueous layer is filtered and harvested into another container for drying or immediate use. The resulting solution will contain very little if any ibuprofen and pill binders along with up to 409.6mg codeine phosphate.
If one wants to consume the entire solution immediately after extraction, one will just drink the opiate containing water. If one wants to dry the solution, a pyrex or glass drying tray is needed.
The drying process may take several days, but the resulting extract can be scraped off of the pan with a knife or razor blade and weighed out and dosed in a more consistant fashion than drinking the solution right after extraction.
