Co-codamol 8mg/500mg | Pain Relief | 32 Tablets

£3.85 Inclusive of all Taxes

Co-codamol, a powerful pain relief medication, is your ally in combating stomach pain and other discomfort. This medication combines two active ingredients: 500mg of Paracetamol and 8mg of Codeine Phosphate, working together to alleviate your pain. It can be employed individually or in conjunction with other painkillers, such as ibuprofen and aspirin. Co-codamol is tailored to address moderate to severe pain, providing you with much-needed relief.

Key Features:

  • This product is a generic medicine with the same active ingredients (500mg Paracetamol and 8mg Codeine Phosphate) as Solpadeine and Paracodol tablets. Note that this is a generic medicine, so the brands and packaging may vary.
  • You can purchase a maximum of one pack, and we offer delivery confirmation with every order.
  • Please use Co-codamol for a maximum of three days. Prolonged use is not recommended.
  • It’s essential to be aware that Co-codamol 8/500mg tablets contain Codeine Phosphate, which has the potential for addiction. Use it responsibly and as directed by your healthcare provider.
  • These tablets are designed for the relief of acute moderate pain. When other painkillers like Aspirin, Ibuprofen, or Paracetamol alone haven’t provided relief, Co-codamol steps in.
  • This product is suitable for adults and children aged 12 years and over.

For more detailed information, please refer to the Patient Information Leaflet provided with your purchase.

Co-codamol 8/500mg Tablets – Your Pain Relief Solution

Co-codamol 8/500mg tablets bring together two active ingredients: Paracetamol and Codeine, working in harmony to ease your discomfort.

Understanding Co-codamol:

  • Paracetamol: This is a gentle pain reliever suitable for mild pain and reducing fever.
  • Codeine: It’s a more potent painkiller, classified as an opioid. The body swiftly absorbs opioids and interacts with specific receptors in the brain to alleviate pain while not addressing its root cause.

When to Use Co-codamol:

These tablets are your go-to for a variety of discomforts, including:

  • Headaches
  • Sore throats
  • Migraines
  • Toothaches
  • Period pains
  • Neuralgia
  • Colds and flu
  • Mild pain associated with Rheumatism and Arthritis

  • Children aged 12 to 15: Take 1 tablet every 6 hours, as needed. Do not give your child more than 4 tablets in 24 hours.

This medicine is suitable for adults and children aged 12 years and older. However, if you have any doubts or concerns, consult your pharmacist or doctor before using it. 

Ingredients: 

Each Co-codamol 8/500mg tablet contains two active ingredients:

  • Paracetamol (500 mg)
  • Codeine Phosphate (8 mg)

These ingredients work together to provide pain relief. Additionally, the tablets contain:

  • Colloidal anhydrous silica
  • Maise starch
  • Pregelatinised maise starch
  • Stearic acid

Precautions:

  • Addiction Risk: Codeine in this medicine can lead to addiction if used continuously for more than three days. Stopping may cause withdrawal symptoms.
  • Headaches: Prolonged use of painkillers for headaches (more than three days) may worsen your headaches.
  • Allergies: Do not take Co-codamol if you’re allergic to paracetamol, codeine phosphate, opioids, or any of the tablet’s ingredients.
  • Specific Health Conditions: Avoid Co-codamol if you have certain conditions like severe diarrhoea, difficulty breathing, asthma attacks, or if you metabolise codeine into morphine rapidly. It’s also not suitable for children after tonsil or adenoid removal due to sleep apnoea.
  • Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Avoid Co-codamol during pregnancy and breastfeeding, unless advised by your doctor. It may lead to withdrawal symptoms in newborns.
  • Storage: Keep the tablets below 25°C in a dry, light-protected place. If symptoms persist or worsen after 3 days, consult your doctor.
  • Consult Your Doctor: If you have liver or kidney issues, adrenal gland disease, high blood pressure, bowel disease, gall bladder problems, recent gastrointestinal or urinary surgery, an enlarged prostate, epilepsy, alcohol/drug dependence, mental illness, or other health concerns, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
  • Enzyme Variations: Codeine transforms into morphine in the liver. Some people’s bodies may not produce enough morphine or may produce too much, affecting the medication’s effectiveness or causing side effects.
  • Driving and Machinery: Co-codamol may cause dizziness, blurred vision, or impaired thinking. Do not drive or operate machinery if you’re affected.
  • Side Effects: If you experience side effects like slow breathing, confusion, drowsiness, small pupils, nausea, constipation, or loss of appetite, stop taking the medicine and seek immediate medical advice.

Ensure proper storage, keeping the medicine out of children’s reach.

Consult your doctor if you have concerns about addiction.
