CO CODAMOL 30/500mg UK BRAND (10x30/500mg)
Co-codamol is a dual-action pain relief medicine combining codeine phosphate and paracetamol. It is recommended for moderate to severe pain—such as migraines, toothache, and muscular aches—when single-ingredient painkillers fail to provide relief. Available in three strengths (8mg, 15mg, or 30mg of codeine per 500mg of paracetamol), it offers a tiered approach to pain management. To avoid serious liver damage or opioid dependency, it must be taken exactly as directed.

Product Details
Co-codamol is a compound analgesic that leverages the combined strength of two different types of painkillers. By pairing paracetamol with codeine (an opioid), it provides a more effective response to pain than either ingredient used alone. It is commonly prescribed for acute conditions including severe headaches, migraines, and post-operative discomfort.
Available Strengths
The medication is categorized by the ratio of codeine to paracetamol:
8mg/500mg: Often available over-the-counter for short-term use.
15mg/500mg: A mid-strength prescription option.
30mg/500mg: The highest strength, reserved for severe pain management under strict medical supervision.
Dosage and Safety
To ensure the medication is used safely and effectively, follow these critical guidelines:
Standard Dose: For adults, the usual dose is one or two tablets every 4 to 6 hours.
24-Hour Limit: You must never exceed 8 tablets in a 24-hour period. Exceeding this limit can cause severe, life-threatening liver damage due to paracetamol toxicity.
Frequency: Ensure a minimum gap of at least 4 hours between doses.
Important Warnings
Addiction Risk: As an opioid-based medicine, co-codamol can lead to addiction if used for more than three consecutive days without medical advice.
Combined Medications: Do not take co-codamol alongside other products containing paracetamol (such as cold and flu remedies) to avoid accidental overdose.
Withdrawal: If you have been taking this medication long-term, consult your doctor before stopping, as sudden discontinuation may cause withdrawal symptoms.
