Paramol Tablets (12)

Paramol Tablets for Pain and Fever Relief

Paramol tablets contain two active ingredients that work together to provide relief from moderate pain and reduce fever. Each tablet combines paracetamol with dihydrocodeine tartrate, making it suitable for pain that has not responded adequately to paracetamol or ibuprofen alone. You can use these tablets for various types of discomfort including headaches, dental pain, and muscular aches.

This medicine is available without prescription for adults and children over 12 years of age. The combination of ingredients makes paramol tablets particularly effective for managing pain that requires stronger relief than standard over-the-counter options can provide.

How Paramol Tablets Work in Your Body

The paracetamol component works by blocking pain signals in your brain and spinal cord, whilst also helping to reduce your body temperature when you have a fever. Dihydrocodeine tartrate 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.

Together, these ingredients provide more effective pain relief than either component would achieve on its own. The combination typically begins working within 30 to 60 minutes of taking a tablet, with effects lasting for several hours.

Who Can Benefit from Paramol Tablets

These tablets are suitable for adults and adolescents over 12 years who need relief from moderate pain or fever. You might find them particularly helpful if standard painkillers have not provided sufficient relief for your symptoms. Many people use them for managing pain relief needs that require something stronger than basic paracetamol.

Paramol tablets can help with several types of discomfort:

• Headaches and migraines that have not responded to other treatments
• Dental pain following procedures or due to tooth problems
• Period pain and menstrual cramps
• Muscular aches and joint pain

Why Choose This Combination Formula

The dual-action formula in Paramol tablets offers you the benefits of both paracetamol and dihydrocodeine in a single dose. This combination approach means you do not need to take multiple different medicines to achieve effective pain relief. The carefully balanced ratio of ingredients has been formulated to maximise pain-relieving effects whilst minimising the risk of side effects.

Each pack contains 12 tablets, providing you with a convenient supply for short-term pain management. The tablets are designed to be swallowed whole with water, making them easy to take when you need relief.

Storage and Shelf Life Considerations

You should store your Paramol tablets in a cool, dry place below 25°C, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep them in their original packaging until you need to use them, and always check the expiry date before taking any tablets. Store them safely away from children, as the dihydrocodeine content makes these tablets potentially harmful if taken inappropriately.

Do not use tablets that have passed their expiry date, and dispose of any unused tablets responsibly through your local pharmacy's medicine return scheme.
