Paracetamol helps reduce pain and fever, while codeine, an opioid, adds extra pain-relieving effect.

• Long-term use can cause dependence; take only for the prescribed duration.

• Inform your doctor if you have liver disease, kidney problems, asthma, or history of substance dependence.

• Avoid alcohol, as it increases the risk of liver damage and sedation.

Rare but serious effects include liver damage (from overdose), difficulty breathing, or allergic reaction.

Do

Reviewed by Dr. Rabia Khan, Consultant General Physician

Codamin-P is used for moderate pain when paracetamol alone isn’t enough, such as after dental work, surgery, or muscle pain. It works well for short-term relief but can cause drowsiness and may lead to dependency if used too long. Always take it only under medical supervision.
