Paracodol is a combination of codeine, one of the strongest painkillers available without prescription, and paracetamol which relieves pain and reduces fever.
Paracodol Capsules provide strong, fast acting relief from headaches (including tension headache and migraine); cold and flu symptoms including raised temperature and sore throats; muscular and rheumatic pain; back pain (including sciatica), neuralgia, period pain and dental pain.
1-2 capsules, repeated if necessary every 4-6 hours with a maximum of 8 capsules a day.
- You are taking prescription medicines or medicines containing paracetamol or codeine.
Immediate medical advice should be sought in the event of an overdose, even if you feel well, because of the risk of delayed, serious liver damage.
Side effects are rare at recommended doses, but occasionally Paracodol can cause constipation. Any other unusual effects should be reported to your pharmacist. For professional advice on medicines, consult your pharmacist.
