Description
What is Co-Codamol 30 mg/500 mg?
Co-Codamol 30 mg/500 mg pills contain 500 milligrams of paracetamol, a common analgesic and antipyretic, plus 30 mg of codeine phosphate, an opioid pain reliever. When traditional pain relievers like ibuprofen or paracetamol alone are ineffective for moderate to severe pain, this dual-action drug is given.
