    Solution

    Codeine is an alkaloid found in opium that is commonly used in cough syrups due to its ability to suppress coughing. It works as a mild pain reliever and cough suppressant and is often included in medications for cough relief. Papaverine, while also derived from opium, is mainly used as a muscle relaxant and is not typically included in cough syrups.
