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.

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.

  • Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs, e.g.moclobemide)
  • oral contraceptives (the “pill”)
