Solpadeine

Product details

Solpadeine Plus Soluble Tablets 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 tablets 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.

The marketing authorisation holder is Omega Pharma Ltd., 32 Vauxhall Bridge Road, London, SW1V 2SA, United Kingdom and all enquiries should be sent to this address. The manufacturer is GlaxoSmithKline Dungarvan Ltd., Co. Waterford, Ireland or Swiss Caps GmbH Grassingerstra?e 9, 83043 Bad Aibling, Germany (Aenova Group).

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.

Do not take Solpadeine Plus Soluble Tablets:

  • If you have ever had an allergic reaction to paracetamol, caffeine, codeine, other opioid painkillers or to any of the other ingredients listed in the ingredients section.
  • 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.

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Solpadeine Plus Soluble Tablets:

  • 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.

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

Children and adolescents

  • Use in children and adolescents after surgery: Codeine should not be used for pain relief in children and adolescents after the removal of their tonsils or adenoids due to Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome. Use in children with breathing problems: Codeine is not recommended in children with breathing problems, since the symptoms of morphine toxicity may be worse in these children.
