Description
Solpadeine Max tablets are a medication commonly used to relieve pain, particularly headaches, migraines, dental pain, period pain, and other types of acute pain. Each tablet typically contains a combination of active ingredients, including paracetamol (500mg) and codeine phosphate (12.8mg)
Paracetamol is a widely used pain reliever and fever reducer. Codeine phosphate is an opioid analgesic, which enhances the pain-relieving effects of paracetamol. Caffeine is included in the formulation to enhance the effectiveness of the other ingredients and to provide mild stimulant effects.
It’s essential to use Solpadeine Max tablets responsibly and as directed by a healthcare professional or according to the instructions on the packaging. Excessive or prolonged use can lead to dependence, addiction, and other health risks associated with opioid medications. Additionally, taking more than the recommended dosage of paracetamol can cause liver damage.
It’s important to note that Solpadeine Max tablets are not suitable for everyone, particularly those with certain medical conditions, such as liver or kidney problems, or a history of substance abuse. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult with a healthcare professional before using this medication.
The tablets are suitable for adults and children over 12 years of age. Adults can take 2 tablets every 4 to 6 hours as needed. Children aged 16-18 years can take 1-2 tablets every 6 hours as needed. Children aged 12-15 years can take 1 tablet every 6 hours as needed. The maximum usage is three days, and if symptoms persist, it is advised to consult a doctor.
Please note that Solpadeine Max contains codeine, which can cause addiction if taken continuously for more than 3 days. It’s only available to buy from your local pharmacy or online with a completed patient questionnaire that will be checked by a pharmacist. Always read the label before use.
As with any medication, Solpadeine Max tablets may cause side effects in some individuals, including dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, constipation, and allergic reactions. If you experience severe or persistent side effects, it’s essential to seek medical attention promptly.
It’s advisable to store Solpadeine Max tablets securely out of reach of children and to dispose of any unused or expired medication properly according to local regulations.
