Solpadeine Max & Solpadeine Plus Tablets

Like all medications, Solpadeine products can have side effects, although not everyone will experience them.

Some of the most common side effects of Solpadeine Max and Solpadeine Plus include:

• Constipation
• Severe abdominal pain, dry mouth, nausea, and vomiting if you have recently had your gall bladder removed
• Nervousness, dizziness, irritability, drowsiness, restlessness
• Allergic reactions which may be severe, e.g. skin rash, itching, swelling of the mouth or face, shortness of breath
• Skin rash or peeling, mouth ulcers, itching, sweating
• Breathing problems. These are more likely if you have experienced them before when taking other painkillers such as ibuprofen or aspirin
• Unexplained bruising or bleeding
• Nausea, upset stomach, sudden weight loss, loss of appetite, yellowing of the eyes and skin (jaundice)
• Difficulty urinating

For a complete list of potential side effects of Solpadeine, please see the patient information leaflet that comes with your product.

Opiate/opioid products are medicines with effects similar to opium. They act by stimulating opioid receptors in the brain and nervous system to reduce sensitivity to pain.

There are a large number of opiate/opioid medicines, however, two of the most commonly used via prescription and over the counter in pharmacies, are codeine and dihydrocodeine.

For most cases of a migraine, the standard off the shelf treatments, paracetamol and ibuprofen, should be enough to help relieve the effects and successfully ease all aches and pains.

When those don’t work, an over the counter or prescribed treatment is likely the course required so you will need to speak to a doctor, pharmacist or specialist.

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.

We’re here to answer all of your questions about which painkillers you can take together, which you can’t, and which other medicines shouldn’t be taken with your pain relief.

Solpadeine products are designed to be used for pain relief and aren’t designed to treat many common cold and flu symptoms, so we don’t recommend these products for those who have a cold or the flu.

However, most Solpadeine products contain paracetamol, which can help to reduce a fever or high temperature, which is a common symptom of a cold or the flu.

They can also ease pain caused by headaches, which can happen when you’re congested.

This means that if you take Solpadeine products for pain relief when you have a cold, you can still experience these benefits as well.

With that being said, if you have a cold or the flu and need a remedy that will work for you, ask your doctor or pharmacist to recommend a suitable product that will relieve all of your symptoms effectively, rather than products that are designed for pain relief
