Solpadeine Plus Capsules provide relief of rheumatic pain, headache, migraine, neuralgia, toothache, sore throat, period pain, feverishness and the symptoms of colds and influenza. 

Solpadeine Plus capsules (paracetamol, caffeine, codeine) are a triple-action pain-relief formula effective at managing moderate pain. It can be used in patients 12 years old and up; it is not suitable for use in patients under 12 even at lower doses.

The medication is commonly used to manage pain from:

• Migraines
• Other headaches (except cluster headaches)
• Backache
• Arthritis
• Menstrual cramps
• Toothache
• Strains & sprains
• Aches & pains
• Neuralgia
• Sciatica
• Other mild to moderate pain

Solpadeine Plus capsules differ from Solpadeine Plus tablets only in that the medication is contained within a capsule, rather than a tablet. Some patients find administration easier via capsule, or prefer to open the capsule and sprinkle contents on soft foods such as applesauce. Capsules also have some differing inactive ingredients, allowing more options for patients with an aversion to or hypersensitivity to inactive ingredients in one or the other product.

A More Powerful Painkiller

Mild to moderate pain doesn't stand a chance against Solpadeine Plus capsules. With a triple-action formula, each capsule contains three active painkillers which, when taken together, enhance the effects of each other so all three are more potent and longer-lasting than when taken alone. Each Solpadeine Plus capsule contains:

• 500 mg paracetamol - desensitizes nerve endings and reduces fever.
• 8 mg codeine - disrupts pain signals to the brain, significantly reducing the sensation of pain.
• 30 mg caffeine - interferes with pain signals, acts as a mild anti-inflammatory agent, and enhances the effects of paracetamol and codeine.

In short, damaged nerve endings produce fewer pain signals and those signals which are produced are prevented from reaching the brain. The end result is the elimination---or at least a very significant alleviation---of pain.

Solpadeine Plus capsules are easy to take; dosage and administration is the same in all patients over 12 years of age:

• Take 1 or 2 tablets as-needed every 4 to 6 hours.
• Do not exceed 8 tablets in 24 hours.

Most patients notice some pain relief within 15 minutes of administration. Effects typically peak within 30 to 60 minutes, and continue for an additional 4 to 6 hours. There may be some variation between individuals, however, as people can metabolize codeine quite differently.

Unless instructed otherwise by a doctor or pharmacist, treatment with Solpadeine Plus capsules should not exceed 3 consecutive days. Long term use of the product greatly increases risk of negative effects from all three active ingredients, and tolerance to codeine may start to develop, reducing its effectiveness. If pain is still severe enough to require treatment after several days of using Solpadeine Plus capsules, speak with a doctor about alternative options.

Note that Solpadeine Plus capsules, or any product containing codeine, should never be used in patients under 12. Likewise codeine products should not be used while pregnant or breastfeeding. Codeine can cause serious, potentially fatal complications in these cases.

Other Solpadeine Solutions

There are a number of other Solpadeine products available which may be of interest to patients seeking pain relief:

• Solpadeine Plus - Potent pain relief tablets containing 500 mg paracetamol, 30 mg caffeine and 8 mg codeine.
• Solpadeine Plus Soluble - The same active ingredients as Solpadeine Plus in soluble tablets which readily dissolve in water for easy administration and faster pain relief.
• Solpadeine Max - Similar to Solpadeine Plus but with more codeine for more powerful pain relief, each tablet contains 500 mg paracetamol and 12.8 mg codeine.
• Solpadeine Max Soluble - The same ingredients as Solpadeine Max but in soluble tablets which readily dissolve in water for easy administration and faster pain relief.
• Solpadeine Migraine - This product contains 12.8 mg codeine and 200 mg ibuprofen, a powerful anti-inflammatory agent, particularly useful in treating not just migraines but any pain from inflammatory conditions such as arthritis.

Remember, not everyone responds to a given medication the same way---if one product isn't working well, it's worth trying another. Everyone deserves to be pain free!
