Paracetamol + codeine is a combination medication used to treat moderate to severe pain that cannot be managed with paracetamol alone. Paracetamol acts as an analgesic and antipyretic, reducing pain and fever, while codeine, a mild opioid, enhances the analgesic effect of paracetamol by acting on pain receptors in the central nervous system.
This combination is commonly used for severe headaches, dental pain, postoperative pain, or other types of acute or chronic pain. It is important to use this medication for short-term treatment, as codeine can cause dependency if taken for extended periods.
Side effects may include drowsiness, dizziness, constipation, nausea, or, in rare cases, allergic reactions. Overuse can lead to liver damage (due to paracetamol) or codeine dependency. It is essential to take this combination as prescribed by a doctor and avoid excessive use.
