Description
Co-codamol 30/500 mg combines two powerful pain relief agents: Codeine, an opioid analgesic, and Paracetamol, a non-opioid painkiller. The synergy between these ingredients helps block pain signals in the brain and reduce inflammation, providing effective relief for conditions such as headaches, migraines, muscular pain, and post-surgical discomfort.
- Codeine Phosphate (30 mg) – An opioid that works by binding to receptors in the central nervous system (CNS), reducing the body’s pain response.
- Paracetamol (500 mg) – A commonly used analgesic and antipyretic that helps lower fever and alleviate pain by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis.
When taken responsibly under the guidance of a healthcare professional, Co-codamol can help individuals manage acute or chronic pain, improving overall quality of life.
