Solpadeine

Product details

Solpadeine Plus Capsules can be used in patients over 12 years of age for the short-term relief of moderate pain that is not relieved by other painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen alone. They can be used for migraine, headache, dental pain, period pain, strains & sprains, backache, rheumatic pain and sciatica. The capsules contain three active ingredients: paracetamol, codeine and caffeine. Codeine belongs to a group of medicines called opioid analgesics which act to relieve pain. Paracetamol is another analgesic to relieve pain. Caffeine acts to further help the effectiveness of paracetamol.

Packs of Solpadeine Plus Capsules contain 16 or 32 capsules, they have an opaque red cap and opaque white body, plain on both halves.

Warnings / Side effects Expand

Codeine is transformed to morphine in the liver by an enzyme. Morphine is the substance that produces pain relief. Some people have a variation of this enzyme and this can affect people in different ways. In some people, morphine is not produced or produced in very small quantities, and it will not provide enough pain relief. Other people are more likely to get serious side effects because a very high amount of morphine is produced. If you notice any of the following side effects, you must stop taking this medicine and seek immediate medical advice: slow or shallow breathing, confusion, sleepiness, small pupils, feeling or being sick, constipation, lack of appetite.

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Solpadeine Plus Capsules:

  • If you are or have ever been addicted to opioids, alcohol, prescription medicines, or illegal substances Taking codeine (an active ingredient of this medicine) regularly for a long time can lead to addiction and misuse, which may result in overdose and/or death.

Do not take this medicine longer than needed. Do not give this medicine to anyone else.

This medicine contains paracetamol. Do not take anything else containing paracetamol while taking this medicine.

If you take a painkiller for headaches for more than 3 days it can make them worse. Do not take Solpadeine Plus Capsules:

  • If you have ever had an allergic reaction to paracetamol, caffeine, codeine, other opioid painkillers
  • If you are taking other medicines containing paracetamol or codeine

If you are under 12 years:

• For pain relief in children and adolescents (0-18 years of age) after removal of their tonsils or adenoids due to obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome

• If you know that you metabolise very rapidly codeine into morphine If you are breastfeeding.

Ask your doctor before you take this medicine:

  • If you have liver or kidney disease, including alcoholic liver disease
  • If you have bowel problems including blockage of your bowel

If you are taking other medicines Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking these capsules if you are taking any prescribed medicines; particularly metoclopramide or domperidone (for nausea [feeling sick] or vomiting [being sick]); colestyramine (to lower blood cholesterol); monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) prescribed for depression in the last 2 weeks or substances that make you drowsy (e.g. sedatives, antidepressants or alcohol). If you take blood thinning drugs (anticoagulants e.g. warfarin) and you need to take a pain reliever on a daily basis, talk to your doctor because of the risk of bleeding. But you can still take occasional doses of Solpadeine Plus Capsules at the same time as anticoagulants.

Please inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking; Flucloxacillin (antibiotic), due to a serious risk of blood and fluid abnormality (high anion gap metabolic acidosis) that must have urgent treatment, and which may occur particularly in case of severe renal impairment, sepsis (when bacteria and their toxins circulate in the blood leading to organ damage), malnutrition, chronic alcoholism, and if the maximum daily doses of paracetamol are used.
