Dual-action, fast-absorbing soluble pain relief. Co-Codamol 8mg/500mg Effervescent Soluble Tablets combine two proven active pain-relieving ingredients: Paracetamol (500mg) and Codeine Phosphate (8mg). Formulated to dissolve completely in water, this effervescent liquid solution is absorbed quickly into the bloodstream to tackle acute, moderate pain fast when standard single-ingredient painkillers prove ineffective.
Why Choose Co-Codamol Effervescent Soluble?
- Fast-Acting Liquid Action: Dissolves quickly in water to start absorption rapidly into the body for prompt pain relief.
- Dual Pain-Relieving Formula: Combines Paracetamol and Codeine Phosphate to target pain through complementary central nervous system pathways.
- Easy to Swallow: Ideal effervescent liquid alternative for adults and adolescents who find solid tablets or capsules hard to swallow.
- Trusted Pharmacy Supply: Dispatched directly from our UK GPhC registered online pharmacy facility.
Important Safety Warning: Risk of Addiction & Short-Term Use Only
This medicine contains codeine, which can cause addiction if taken continuously for more than 3 days. Use codeine only for acute, moderate pain that is not relieved by other painkillers such as paracetamol, ibuprofen, or aspirin alone.
If you take this medicine for more than 3 days, it can lead to addiction or cause withdrawal symptoms (such as restlessness and irritability) when you stop taking it. If you take a painkiller for headaches for more than 3 days, it can make them worse.
