- 32 tablets per pack
- Dual-action formula for enhanced pain relief
- Suitable for adults and children aged 12 years and over

-----
💡 **What Co-codamol Is Used For**
Co-codamol is used for short-term relief of acute, moderate pain when other painkillers have not worked, including:
- Headaches and migraines
- Dental pain and toothache
- Period pain
- Muscular aches and backache
- Cold and flu symptoms

⚙️ **How It Works**
Paracetamol works by blocking pain signals in the brain and reducing fever. Codeine is a weak opioid that works in the central nervous system to change how your body perceives pain. Together, they provide stronger relief than either ingredient alone.
