Co-codamol 30mg/500mg Tablets

Co-codamol 30mg/500mg Tablets contain a combination of codeine phosphate 30mg and paracetamol 500mg. This combination painkiller is used for the short-term management of moderate pain when other pain-relieving medicines have not provided sufficient relief.

What Is Co-codamol 30mg/500mg?

Each tablet combines two active ingredients that work in different ways:

• Codeine phosphate 30mg – an opioid analgesic that acts on the central nervous system to reduce the perception of pain.
• Paracetamol 500mg – an analgesic that helps relieve pain and reduce fever.

The 30mg/500mg strength contains a relatively high amount of codeine and is intended to be used only according to a prescription or advice from a qualified healthcare professional.

How Does Co-codamol Work?

Codeine acts on opioid receptors involved in the transmission and perception of pain. Paracetamol provides additional pain-relieving effects through a separate mechanism. Together, these ingredients can provide greater pain relief than either ingredient alone.

Co-codamol is generally intended for short-term use. Prolonged or inappropriate use of codeine can lead to tolerance, dependence and withdrawal symptoms.

Co-codamol Safety Information

Possible side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, constipation and sleepiness. Codeine may affect alertness, so avoid driving or operating machinery if you feel drowsy or impaired.

Do not exceed the recommended dose. Each tablet contains paracetamol, so taking additional medicines containing paracetamol can increase the risk of an overdose and serious liver damage.

Avoid alcohol while taking co-codamol, as alcohol may increase drowsiness and other opioid-related effects.

Tell your healthcare professional about any other medicines you take and any history of breathing problems, liver problems or dependence on medicines or substances.
