The Facts About Co-codamol 8/500 📝🩹
Buying painkillers over the counter feels routine, but Co-codamol requires extra care.
🚫 Avoid Misuse: Never exceed 8 tablets in 24 hours. Taking more does not provide more pain relief but does increase the risk of liver damage (from paracetamol) and respiratory issues (from codeine). 🚫 The Alcohol Link: Mixing codeine with alcohol significantly increases drowsiness and the risk of accidental overdose. 🚫 Short-Term Only: This is for acute, moderate pain. If you've been taking it for weeks, it's time to talk to your pharmacist or GP about a safer long-term plan.
