Side Effects

Constipation, nausea, drowsiness and dizziness are common, particularly the codeine-related effects. Codeine can also be habit-forming with regular use.

Ingredients

The active ingredients are codeine phosphate 8mg and paracetamol 500mg.

Warnings

Codeine-containing medicines carry a risk of dependence and withdrawal symptoms if used regularly for more than a few days, they're intended for short-term use only. Avoid alcohol, which increases drowsiness. Don't drive if you feel drowsy or dizzy. As with all paracetamol-containing products, don't exceed the maximum daily dose or combine with other paracetamol-containing medicines.
