  2. What is co-codamol? Co-codamol is a combination pain-relief medicine containing paracetamol and codeine phosphate. It is prescribed for moderate to severe pain when ordinary painkillers are not effective. Co-codamol works by blocking pain signals in the brain and reducing inflammation. It is commonly used for conditions such as dental pain, injury pain, post-surgery discomfort, migraines, and muscular aches. Always use it under medical guidance for safe and effective relief.

  3. Uses and Benefits Co-codamol provides fast and reliable pain relief by combining two active ingredients with different mechanisms. Paracetamol reduces fever and mild pain, while codeine enhances pain control by acting on the nervous system. This combination makes it effective for short-term pain management. Benefits include improved comfort, better mobility, and quicker recovery during painful conditions. It may also help improve sleep when pain is disrupting rest. 05

  4. Dosage and How to Take Dosage depends on age, medical condition, and doctor recommendation. Adults usually take one or two tablets every four to six hours, without exceeding the daily limit. Tablets should be swallowed with water and not crushed. Avoid combining with other paracetamol-containing products to prevent overdose. Do not use for longer than prescribed, as prolonged use may lead to dependency due to codeine.

  5. Safety, Side Effects, and Precautions Common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, constipation, and dry mouth. Serious reactions are rare but require medical attention. Avoid alcohol while taking Co- codamol, as it increases the risk of liver damage and sedation. It is not recommended for children under specific ages or individuals with breathing problems. Always follow prescription guidelines and consult a healthcare professional for safe use.
