Re: Medication Advice - Co-codamol
It's a long time since I've been in much pain, but the problem with those Paracetamol and Codeine fizzy tablets is that they have a lot of Paracetamol in them, 1000 Mg to 60 Mg Codeine. That's a lot of paracetamol, and overdoing this will destroy your liver and kidneys.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Re: Medication Advice - Co-codamol
@OP Now that it's sorted - hope you are feeling better for the pain relief - can we laugh about the fact that someone in one of the countries which has top health cover for citizens, (NHS, UK), is asking for advice on drug effects on a forum in a country with very little health care, where most people self-diagnose? (and self-medicate)

'Bunch of flocking snowflakes here, Yerg
Go straight to the Rolls Royce. Opium.
This is how i take it these days - reading up a bit of Sam T (Coleridge)
Opium inspired fantasmagorical visions to transport all your everyday pains away...
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea.
So twice five miles of fertile ground
With walls and towers were girdled round;
And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills,
Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree;
And here were forests ancient as the hills,
Enfolding sunny spots of greenery.
But oh! that deep romantic chasm which slanted
Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover!
A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e’er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!
And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething,
As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing,
A mighty fountain momently was forced:
Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst
Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail,
Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher’s flail:
And mid these dancing rocks at once and ever
It flung up momently the sacred river.
Five miles meandering with a mazy motion
Through wood and dale the sacred river ran,
Then reached the caverns measureless to man,
And sank in tumult to a lifeless ocean;
And ’mid this tumult Kubla heard from far
Ancestral voices prophesying war!
The shadow of the dome of pleasure
floated midway on the waves;
Where was heard the mingled measure
from the fountain and the caves.
It was a miracle of rare device,
A sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice!
A damsel with a dulcimer
In a vision once I saw:
It was an Abyssinian maid
And on her dulcimer she played,
Singing of Mount Abora.
Could I revive within me
Her symphony and song,
To such a deep delight ’twould win me,
That with music loud and long,
I would build that dome in air,
That sunny dome! those caves of ice!
And all who heard should see them there,
And all should cry, Beware! Beware!
His flashing eyes, his floating hair!
Weave a circle round him thrice,
And close your eyes with holy dread
For he on honey-dew hath fed,
And drunk the milk of Paradise.
The Rym of the Ancient Mariner next...

That does seem very high in both Paracetamol and Codeine.John Bingham wrote: ↑Thu May 13, 2021 11:26 pmIt's a long time since I've been in much pain, but the problem with those Paracetamol and Codeine fizzy tablets is that they have a lot of Paracetamol in them, 1000 Mg to 60 Mg Codeine. That's a lot of paracetamol, and overdoing this will destroy your liver and kidneys.
I guess there are different configurations available depending on your need. For anyone who's interested, I bought these 2 types from La Gare Pharmacy last year (they had other variations too):
Codalgin 500mg Paracetamol and 8mg Codeine phosphate $3 for 20
CoDoliprane 400mg Paracetamol and 20mg Codeine phosphate hemihydrate $2.88 for 16
Re: Medication Advice - Co-codamol
I prefer to take dicodin and aspirin separately on the rare occasion of back pain or tooth ache. About half a 60 mg tablet works well.
A lot stronger than codeine.
Tramadol is extremely dangerous, particularly if one ignores warnings to avoid alcohol.
This has killed many.

Re: Medication Advice - Co-codamol
I was taking 2000 Milligrams of Acetominophen a day. The liver function got so bad that the life insurance company refused to insure me. Can’t even imagine what would’ve happened if I had added 240 Milligrams of Codeine to that.John Bingham wrote:It's a long time since I've been in much pain, but the problem with those Paracetamol and Codeine fizzy tablets is that they have a lot of Paracetamol in them, 1000 Mg to 60 Mg Codeine.

Please be safe out there!
