Co-codamol 30/500 mg

Co-codamol is a combination analgesic that is used to treat moderate to severe pain conditions such as back pain, headache and postoperative pain. This medication contains 30mg codeine and 500mg paracetamol. It is safe to take co-codamol with ibuprofen and aspirin to increase its pain-reducing effect.

What is Co-Codamol?

Co-codamol is a combination painkiller that contains 500 mg paracetamol and 30 mg codeine. This medication inhibits pain signals that travel through the central nervous system, making pain more tolerable. It is used to relieve painful conditions; particularly where standard painkillers alone have not provided sufficient relief. It is safe to take this medication with aspirin and ibuprofen to enhance its pain-relieving effect. Co-codamol can relieve discomfort associated with conditions like headache, migraines and postoperative pain.

How to Use Co-Codamol 30/500 mg

During treatment, it is important to leave at least four hours between doses. Do not take more than two tablets at once and do not exceed the recommended daily dose. The tablets should be swallowed whole with a drink of water and you can take this medication before or after food. If you forget to take a dose, simply skip the forgotten dose if you are nearing your next dose. Never exceed the recommended dose as a best practice.

Benefits of Co-Codamol 30/500 mg

This medication is effective at relieving moderate to severe pain. The two ingredients contained in these tablets work together in different ways to provide pain relief. Paracetamol works primarily in the central nervous system (CNS). It prevents the release of substances called prostaglandins and this increases your pain threshold. Codeine imitates the function of pain-reducing endorphins that occur naturally in the body. It blocks the communication of pain messages that are sent by nerves to the brain. Co-codamol uses include the treatment of the following conditions:

  • Postoperative pain
  • Back pain
  • Arthritis
  • Sore throat (pharyngitis)
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Tension headache
  • Migraine headache

Postoperative pain, or pain after surgery, is short-term (acute) pain that is important to control and prevent from becoming long-term (chronic) pain. Pain after surgery can also interfere with sleep and lengthen the amount of time it takes for your body to recover from the procedure. If postoperative pain is well managed, you should be able to perform important daily tasks, such as walking, sooner rather than later. Effective relief from postoperative pain can be achieved by taking co-codamol, as attested to by numerous medical experts and patients. Even though the cause of the pain may still remain, less pain will actually be felt during treatment.

Back pain is one of the most common types of pain that affects about 75 to 85 percent of adults at some stage in their lifetime. It can be acute pain that lasts a few days and tends to resolve on its own with self-care and medication. It can also be chronic whereby the pain continues for 3 months or longer. Approximately 20 percent of people with acute lower back pain develop a long-term condition with persistent symptoms. Co-codamol for back pain along with healthy lifestyle choices like exercise can, however, help speed up the recovery process.

If you suffer from arthritis, you can buy co-codamol online and treat pain associated with this condition. Arthritis is characterised by aching and swelling of one or more joints in the body. Over 350 million people worldwide have arthritis or similar conditions that cause inflammation in the joints, according to the World Health Organization. The most common symptoms of arthritis include pain, stiffness, swelling and reduced range of motion. There is no cure for arthritis, however, healthy lifestyle choices and analgesic medication like co-codamol can help manage this condition.

Co-codamol uses include the treatment of sore throat. Also known as pharyngitis, a sore throat is often caused by a virus or a bacterial infection. This condition is characterised by inflammation of the pharynx and can cause difficulty swallowing, stiff neck and fever. In the majority of people, pharyngitis does not last long and the pain tends to go away on its own without causing any long-term problems. Nevertheless, short-term discomfort can be considerable and interfere with daily activities. Fortunately, co-codamol can reduce pharyngitis pain within one hour of administration and provide effective pain relief for several hours.

The right co-codamol dosage can also help control pain associated with fibromyalgia. This is a long-term condition that is characterised by pain in muscles and bones, general fatigue and sleeping difficulties. In patients with this condition, the brain and nerves tend to be extra sensitive and overreact to normal conditions. A small amount of pressure or a minor injury may cause intense pain for a person with fibromyalgia. People with this condition are often deprived of sleep and research has shown that a lack of sleep can increase pain sensitivity, making pain less tolerable.

If you suffer from fibromyalgia, you may find effective pain relief if you order co-codamol online. Additionally, lifestyle changes like managing stress and adhering to a healthy diet can be used in combination with medication to control pain. Co-codamol reduces discomfort and promotes restful sleep. An improvement in sleep quality and duration is usually followed by a reduction in pain symptoms.

Co-codamol can also relieve a tension headache. This type of headache can cause intense pain in the neck and head as well as behind the eyes. Tension headaches can last from half an hour to a few days and up to 80 percent of adults experience them periodically. Symptoms include sleeping difficulties, muscle aches, fatigue and irritability. If you suffer from tension headaches you can buy co-codamol online and treat this type of pain as well. Additionally, lifestyle changes like physical activity and relaxation techniques can help reduce tension and headache pain.

Additionally, patients can order co-codamol online 30 500 tablets to effectively treat pain associated with migraine headaches. A migraine is a moderate to severe headache that is usually felt on one side of the head. This condition is more common among women and is often accompanied by symptoms like nausea and increased sensitivity to light and sound. The exact cause of migraines is not entirely understood, however, genetics and environmental aspects may play a role. Certain factors like alcohol, caffeine and stress can also trigger a migraine. Co-codamol works best when administered at the first indication of an impending migraine.

Is Co-Codamol Safe for Everyone?

In general, the use of this medication is safe for most adults. However, certain groups of people with underlying health conditions may need to avoid the use of this medication or practice extra caution. Do not take co-codamol if you:

  • Have severe breathing problems
  • Have severe liver problems
  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding

Elderly patients and those with liver or kidney problems should practice extra caution and take a lower dose. Additionally, patients who have a bowel problem such as Crohn's disease or colitis should take extra care.

Co-Codamol Side Effects
