Product description

Co-codamol 8/500mg Effervescent Tablets provide fast-acting relief for moderate pain when standard painkillers are not enough, combining paracetamol and codeine in an effervescent form for quick absorption.

Co-codamol 8/500mg Effervescent Tablets provide short-term relief from acute moderate pain that has not responded to standard painkillers like paracetamol, ibuprofen, or aspirin alone. These tablets are particularly useful for treating muscular and rheumatic pain, headaches, migraines, neuralgia, toothache, period pain, and other common aches and pains.

Each tablet contains a combination of paracetamol and codeine phosphate. Paracetamol reduces fever and alleviates pain, while codeine is an opioid analgesic that acts centrally to enhance pain relief. The effervescent form allows for rapid absorption, helping to provide quicker relief.

This medication is suitable for adults and children over 12 years of age and is recommended for short-term use only to avoid dependency on codeine.
