Co-codamol 8/500mg Tablets

Co-codamol 8/500mg tablets are made up of a combination of two active ingredients known as Paracetamol and Codeine. Paracetamol is an analgesic (painkiller) It is a medication for the relief of mild pain and fever. Codeine is a stronger painkiller than Paracetamol known as an opioid. Opioid painkillers are easily and rapidly absorbed by the body and attach themselves to one or more of 4 opioid receptors in the brain. When these receptors are stimulated, they reduce pain without eliminating its cause.

This combination of painkillers can relieve moderate to acute pain associated with headaches, sore throats, migraines, toothache, period pains, neuralgia, colds and flu. Co-codamol may also help relieve mild pain associated with Rheumatism and Arthritis.

It is especially important with this item that you read and fully understand the Patient Information Leaflet before purchasing.

Symptoms, Treatment and advice

This medicine is an Analgesic that is used as a painkiller to reduce or eliminate mild, moderate or acute pain. It is not a treatment so will not cure or resolve the underlying cause of the pain e.g. back pain or toothache.
It is important you seek your doctor or pharmacist’s advice if you are unsure about the cause of the pain. In any event this medicine should not be used for more than 3 days without seeking professional medical advice.

For help in managing your pain we have a pain management diary you can download and use click here.

Before you take this medicine

Check the foil is not broken before use. If it is, do not take that tablet.

Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure. Do not drink alcohol whilst taking Co-codamol tablets. Swallow the tablets with
water. Do not take Co-codamol 8/500mg tablets less than 4 hours after you have taken any other painkiller.

Ingredients

Paracetamol 500 mg and Codeine Phosphate 8mg are the active ingredients. As well as the active ingredients, the tablets also contain colloidal anhydrous silica, maize starch, pregelatinsed maize starch, stearic acid.

Precautions

  • This medicine contains codeine which can cause addiction if you take it continuously for more than three days. This can give you withdrawal symptoms from the medicine when you stop taking it.
  • If you take a painkiller for headaches for more than three days it can make them worse.
  • Do not take Co-codamol tablets if you are allergic to paracetamol, codeine phosphate or other opioids, or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed above).
  • If you have diarrhoea caused by poisoning or severe bloody diarrhoea (pseudomembranous colitis)
  • If you have difficulty breathing, or other chronic lung disease
  • if you are having an asthma attack
  • for pain relief in children and adolescents (0-18 years of age) after removal of their tonsils or adenoids due to obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

Warnings and precautions

Codeine is transformed to morphine in the liver by an enzyme. Morphine is the substance that produces pain relief. Some people have a variation of this enzyme and this can affect people in different ways. In some people, morphine is not produced or produced in very small quantities, and it will not provide enough pain relief. Other people are more likely to get serious side effects because a very high amount of morphine is produced.

If you notice any of the following side effects, you must stop taking this medicine and seek immediate medical advice:
slow or shallow breathing, confusion, sleepiness, small pupils, feeling or being sick, constipation, lack of appetite.

Children and adolescents
Use in children and adolescents after surgery
Co-codamol should not be used for pain relief in children and adolescents after removal of their tonsils or adenoids due to Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome.

Use in children with breathing problems
Co-codamol is not recommended in children with breathing problems, since the symptoms of morphine toxicity may be worse in these children.
