Substance: acetylsalicylic acid + paracetamol + caffeine + codeine (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug + analgesic and antipyretic + xanthine stimulant + opioid analgesic)
ATC: N02BA51 (Nervous system | Other analgesics and antipyretics | Salicylic acid and derivatives)
The combination of acetylsalicylic acid, paracetamol, caffeine, and codeine is used for the relief of moderate to severe pain, such as migraines, severe headaches, dental pain, or muscle pain. This combination combines analgesic, stimulant, and opioid effects to provide effective pain relief.
- Acetylsalicylic acid is an analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent that reduces pain, inflammation, and fever.
- Paracetamol is an analgesic and antipyretic that complements the effect of acetylsalicylic acid, providing additional pain and fever reduction.
- Caffeine enhances the absorption of analgesics and has a stimulating effect, reducing fatigue associated with pain.
- Codeine is a mild opioid that enhances the analgesic effect of the other components, making it effective for more intense pain.
This combination should be used with caution, as codeine can cause dependency, and prolonged use may lead to side effects such as drowsiness, constipation, or respiratory depression. It is important to take it only as prescribed by a doctor and avoid long-term use without medical supervision.
