Co-Codamol Tablets

Co-Codamol Tablets contain a combination of paracetamol and codeine, two active ingredients that work together to provide relief from moderate pain. They are generally used for short-term pain when other painkillers have not provided enough relief.

Uses of Co-Codamol

Co-Codamol may help relieve different types of moderate pain, including:

  • Headaches and migraine pain
  • Toothache and dental pain
  • Back and muscular pain
  • Joint and general body pain
  • Period pain

How Does Co-Codamol Work?

Paracetamol helps relieve pain and reduce fever, while codeine works on the central nervous system to enhance pain relief. Together, they can provide stronger pain relief than paracetamol alone.

Co-Codamol may cause drowsiness, dizziness, nausea or constipation. Codeine can also cause dependence when used for prolonged periods. Avoid alcohol and do not drive or operate machinery if you feel sleepy or dizzy.
