Frequently asked questions

What is Paracetamol Comp. used for?+
Paracetamol Comp. is a fixed‑dose combination of paracetamol and codeine phosphate hemihydrate. It is prescribed to relieve mild to moderate pain, reduce fever, and manage dental discomfort or tension‑type headaches when an opioid‑enhanced analgesic is appropriate.
How does the active ingredient work?+
Paracetamol reduces pain and fever by inhibiting central cyclooxygenase enzymes, lowering prostaglandin production. Codeine phosphate hemihydrate is a pro‑drug converted to morphine, which activates μ‑opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, producing analgesia and cough suppression.
What is the usual dose?+
The dose of Paracetamol Comp. is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s age, weight, pain severity, and clinical condition. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and never adjust the dose without medical advice.
Is it safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety in pregnancy and lactation has not been fully established. The product should be used only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus or infant, and only under the guidance of a qualified health professional.
How do I order Paracetamol Comp. from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any required import documentation.
How does it compare with other analgesics?+
Compared with paracetamol alone, the addition of codeine provides stronger analgesia and can address moderate pain that may not respond to non‑opioid therapy. Compared with stronger opioids, the combination offers a lower risk of severe respiratory depression but still requires careful monitoring.
How should it be stored and handled?+
Store Paracetamol Comp. at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in the original packaging to protect it from moisture and light. Keep out of reach of children and do not use after the expiry date printed on the label.
How is Paracetamol Comp. administered?+
The product is taken orally, usually with a glass of water. It may be taken with or without food, but if gastrointestinal upset occurs, it can be taken with a light meal. Swallow tablets whole; do not crush or chew unless instructed by a healthcare professional.
What are the most serious risks to watch for?+
Serious risks include respiratory depression, especially when combined with other CNS depressants, severe allergic reactions, hepatotoxicity from excessive paracetamol exposure, and the potential for dependence or abuse associated with codeine. Immediate medical attention is required if any of these occur.
Who should not use Paracetamol Comp.?+
The product should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to paracetamol or codeine, severe respiratory depression, uncontrolled liver disease, or those taking MAO inhibitors. It is also contraindicated in children under the age specified by local regulations unless prescribed by a physician.
