Frequently asked questions

What is Paracetamol And Codeine used for?+
Paracetamol And Codeine is a combination analgesic indicated for the short‑term relief of mild to moderate pain such as headache, dental discomfort, musculoskeletal aches, and for the reduction of fever associated with common infections.
How does paracetamol work in this product?+
Paracetamol acts centrally by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes, which reduces the synthesis of prostaglandins involved in pain signaling and temperature regulation, thereby providing analgesic and antipyretic effects.
What is the usual dose of Paracetamol And Codeine?+
The appropriate dose is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s age, weight, clinical condition, and local prescribing guidelines. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not exceed the recommended amount.

What are the most serious risks associated with this product?+
Serious risks include respiratory depression, especially in higher doses or when combined with other CNS depressants, potential for opioid dependence, severe allergic reactions, and liver toxicity if paracetamol is overdosed.
Who should not use Paracetamol And Codeine?+
Individuals with severe hepatic impairment, uncontrolled asthma, significant respiratory depression, known hypersensitivity to either component, or those taking prohibited concomitant opioid medications should avoid this product. Pediatric use is restricted according to local regulations.
