What are Solpadeine Max Tablets?
Solpadeine Max Tablets are a potent pain relief medication containing paracetamol, codeine, and caffeine. These ingredients work together to relieve severe pain, including migraines, headaches, dental pain, period pain, and back pain. Solpadeine Max is formulated to provide effective pain relief when other medications are insufficient.
How should I take Solpadeine Max Tablets?
Take 2 tablets with a glass of water every 4-6 hours as needed. Do not take more than 8 tablets in 24 hours. Follow the dosage instructions on the packaging or as directed by your healthcare provider, and do not exceed the recommended dose.
What should I do if I take too many tablets?
If you accidentally take more than the recommended dose, seek medical attention immediately, even if you feel fine. Overdosing on paracetamol can cause serious liver damage, which may not show symptoms right away.
Can I take Solpadeine Max Tablets with other medications?
Be cautious when taking other medications alongside Solpadeine Max. Avoid using any other products that contain paracetamol or additional opioids. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist before combining Solpadeine Max with other medications to prevent harmful interactions.
Possible Side Effects
Like all medications, Solpadeine Max Tablets can cause side effects, although not everyone will experience them. Common side effects include nausea, dizziness, or drowsiness. If you experience severe side effects, such as allergic reactions (e.g., rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing), stop taking the medication and seek medical attention immediately.
How to Store Solpadeine Max Tablets
Store the tablets in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Ensure the medication is stored at room temperature and not used after the expiry date on the packaging.
Dependence and Tolerance
Solpadeine Max Tablets contain codeine, an opioid that can be addictive if used for prolonged periods. To reduce the risk of dependence, use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration possible. If you find yourself needing to take Solpadeine Max regularly for more than three days, consult your doctor for advice.
Special Precautions
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Solpadeine Max Tablets are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding because codeine can pass to the baby and potentially cause harm.
- Driving and Operating Machinery: Codeine can cause drowsiness or dizziness. If you experience these effects, avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how the medication affects you.
- Alcohol: Avoid drinking alcohol while taking Solpadeine Max Tablets, as it can increase the sedative effects of codeine and raise the risk of liver damage.
