Additional Information for Co-Codamol Capsules
Co-Codamol Capsules are a type of medication that falls under the supply class of Drugs And Biologicals in the supply group of Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies.
Co-Codamol is a combination of two active ingredients: codeine phosphate and paracetamol (also known as acetaminophen). It is commonly used for the relief of moderate to severe pain, such as headaches, toothaches, and muscle aches.
The codeine phosphate component of Co-Codamol is an opioid analgesic, which works by blocking pain signals in the brain. The paracetamol component acts as a non-opioid pain reliever and fever reducer.
Co-Codamol Capsules are typically available in different strengths, with varying ratios of codeine phosphate to paracetamol. The specific strength and dosage instructions should be determined by a healthcare professional, as it depends on the individual's condition and level of pain.
It is important to note that Co-Codamol is a prescription medication and should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. It may have potential side effects and can interact with other medications, so it is crucial to follow the prescribed dosage and consult with a healthcare provider if any concerns arise.
