Solpadeine Max Tablets are a Pharmacy Only (P) medicine formulated for the short-term treatment of acute moderate pain that has not been adequately relieved by paracetamol or ibuprofen alone. Each tablet contains two complementary analgesics: Paracetamol 500mg, which works by blocking the chemical messengers in the brain that signal pain, and Codeine Phosphate Hemihydrate 12.8mg, a mild opioid analgesic that acts on the central nervous system to reduce the perception of pain. Together, they provide stronger relief than paracetamol alone for conditions including headache, migraine, dental pain, period pain, backache, sciatica, strains, sprains and rheumatic or arthritic pain. This medicine contains codeine and can cause addiction if taken for more than 3 days. It must not be used for longer than 3 consecutive days without medical advice, and should not be taken alongside any other paracetamol-containing products. It is a swallow tablet — please note the Solpadeine Max Soluble version is also available if a dissolving format is preferred. Always read the patient information leaflet before use.
