Paramol - 32 Tablets

Paramol Tablets for Pain Relief and Fever

You can rely on Paramol tablets to provide effective relief from mild to moderate pain and reduce fever. Each tablet contains paracetamol and dihydrocodeine, two active ingredients that work together to target different types of pain. This combination makes paramol tablets suitable for various conditions including headaches, migraines, dental pain, and muscular aches.

The dual-action formula means you get the benefits of both paracetamol's fever-reducing properties and dihydrocodeine's pain-relieving effects. This makes Paramol particularly useful when you need stronger pain relief than paracetamol alone can provide, whilst still maintaining a good safety profile when used as directed.

How Paramol Works in Your Body

The paracetamol component works by blocking pain signals in your brain and spinal cord, whilst also acting on the area of your brain that controls body temperature. This dual action helps reduce both pain and fever effectively. The dihydrocodeine belongs to a group of medicines called opioid analgesics, which work by binding to specific receptors in your brain and spinal cord to reduce the perception of pain.

When you take Paramol, both ingredients are absorbed into your bloodstream and begin working within 30 to 60 minutes. The effects typically last for four to six hours, providing sustained relief from your symptoms.

Who Should Consider Paramol Tablets

Paramol is suitable for adults and children over 12 years who need relief from mild to moderate pain that hasn't responded adequately to paracetamol or ibuprofen alone. You might find it particularly helpful if you experience regular headaches, migraines, or chronic pain conditions that require consistent management.

This medication is appropriate for you if you need:

• Relief from tension headaches and migraines
• Management of dental pain following procedures
• Treatment of muscular and joint pain
• Fever reduction alongside pain relief

Why Choose Combination Pain Relief

The combination of paracetamol and dihydrocodeine in Paramol offers you more effective pain relief than either ingredient would provide alone. This synergistic effect means you can achieve better pain control whilst potentially using lower doses of each individual component. The paracetamol provides reliable baseline pain relief and fever reduction, whilst the dihydrocodeine adds stronger analgesic effects for more challenging pain.

This approach to pain management is particularly beneficial when you're dealing with pain that varies in intensity throughout the day, as the combination provides both immediate and sustained relief. The formulation has been specifically designed to balance effectiveness with safety, ensuring you get the pain relief you need.

Storage and Handling Requirements

You should store your Paramol tablets in their original packaging at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep them in a secure location away from children, as the dihydrocodeine content makes this a controlled medication. Don't store them in bathrooms or other humid environments, as this can affect the stability of the active ingredients.

Check the expiry date before taking any tablets and dispose of any expired medication safely through your local pharmacy's disposal service. Never share your Paramol tablets with others, even if they have similar symptoms, as this medication requires individual assessment for safe use.
