Buy Almus Co-Codamol 8/500mg Effervescent - 32 Tablets
Almus co-codamol is a stronger painkiller for when regular painkillers don't work. It contains both codeine and paracetamol and can help with moderate pain like headaches, migraines, toothache, nerve pain, period pain, and joint aches.
You should only use co-codamol for a short time, and only after trying other painkillers first. It's meant to be the next step when standard pain relief isn't enough.
Directions
Always dissolve the tablets in at least half a glass of water and drink the solution right away. Never swallow them whole as they're designed to be dissolved first.
Adults and teenagers aged 16 and older can take 1-2 tablets every 6 hours as needed, but no more than 8 tablets in 24 hours.
Children aged 12-15 should take only 1 tablet every 6 hours, with a maximum of 4 tablets daily.
Don't take co-codamol for more than 3 days. If your pain hasn't improved by then, contact a healthcare professional.

Can I take two painkillers at once?
Sometimes when you take painkillers you find that although they make your headache, backache, or whatever your aches and pains you’re trying to treat a bit better, they don’t quite do the job.
This is when you might consider picking up another painkiller to try to kick that pain to the curb. But how do you know if this is safe? Can you take more than one painkiller at once?
If you’ve ever looked into your medicine cabinet and asked yourself one of these questions then you’ve come to the right place.
