Talk:Co-codamol

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Didn't want to edit, but does it really need the dashes between mild to moderate?

I believe that it's necessary in this sentence to avoid ambiguity... Techelf 07:58, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Just an FYI, the 8/500 boxes of 100 pills are available in Bahamas for $35 US per box. Not sure what comparable US Tylenol with Codeine is, but it worked well for pain when in Bahamas with head injury. Sold over the counter in drug store.

"All formulations contain 500mg of paracetamol per tablet. In the United Kingdom, the 500+15 mg and 500+30 mg tablets are available only with a prescription. " I'm not sure this is true, I was fairly sure solpadiene is 500/30? I'l check and probably report back tomorrow. --TheCooperman 03:04, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

solpadeine is not 30/500. this user probably is thinking of Solpdaol, which are 30/500 and prescription only.

Out of sheer curiousity, why does this page and Panadeine 15 packs in Australia emphasize so much not to take more than two tablets at a time? Whilst it's not a good idea, when I have the odd painful headache I take three Panadeine 15 tablets, which at 45mg codeine is very much getting toward prescription dosages, and find it's excellent at relieving certain types of pain. As long as i'm only taking the one dose of three 500mg+15mg as a one-off every now and then, can it really be harmful? Timeshift 07:26, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I've often wondered similar things. Maybe they just have to play it safe for medical licesning reasons? Thedreamdied 00:03, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

If you take three or even four once you will be ok, as long as you take no more than 8 in 24 hours202.161.5.252 08:11, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

"Co-Codamol" is paracetamol + codeine. "Solpadeine" is paracetamol + codeine + caffeine. Part of article with Solpadeine is quite confusing. 82.131.30.47 (talk) 16:08, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

-- I edited the section that describes Kapake as capsules. they are most definitely not, they are tablets (or more probably caplets - long "oval" shaped objects, that are solid like tablets and cannot be opened/taken apart.) They are 30mg codeine, 500mg paracetamol.
