Paramol Tablets Pack of 32

Paramol Tablets are a highly effective over-the-counter medication designed to provide relief from a variety of pain conditions. This pack contains 32 tablets, each containing 500mg of Paracetamol and 7.46mg of Dihydrocodeine Tartrate. These two active ingredients work in tandem to alleviate discomfort and reduce fever.

Paracetamol is a well-known analgesic and antipyretic. It works by blocking the production of prostaglandins in the brain and spinal cord, which are substances that the body produces in response to injury or illness. Prostaglandins cause pain and fever, so by blocking their production, Paracetamol can effectively reduce these symptoms.

Dihydrocodeine Tartrate, on the other hand, is a strong opioid analgesic. It works by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, which reduces the perception of pain. This makes it particularly effective for moderate to severe pain that is not relieved by other painkillers.

Together, these two ingredients provide a powerful combination that can effectively manage pain and fever. They are suitable for a variety of conditions, including headaches, migraines, toothache, neuralgia, period pain, and rheumatic and muscular aches and pains. They can also be used to relieve discomfort and lower fever associated with colds and flu.

Each tablet is easy to swallow and can be taken with or without food. The recommended dose for adults and children over 12 years of age is one or two tablets every four to six hours, as needed. However, no more than eight tablets should be taken in any 24-hour period. It's important to note that this medication should not be used for more than three days without consulting a healthcare professional.

Warning: Paramol Tablets are not suitable for children under 12 years of age. They should also not be used by individuals who are allergic to Paracetamol, Dihydrocodeine Tartrate, or any of the other ingredients in the tablets. Additionally, they should not be used by individuals who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, without first consulting a healthcare professional.

It's also important to be aware that Dihydrocodeine Tartrate can cause addiction if used continuously for more than three days. Therefore, if you feel you need to take this medicine for longer, you should consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Paramol Tablets are a pharmacy-only medication, which means they can be purchased without a prescription but are kept behind the counter in pharmacies. This is to ensure that they are used correctly and safely. Always read the enclosed patient information leaflet before use and consult your pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns.
