What is Solpadeine Plus Soluble?
Solpadeine Plus Soluble Tablets are a combination pain relief medication containing paracetamol, codeine, and caffeine. These ingredients work together to provide effective relief from moderate pain, such as headaches, migraines, dental pain, and period pain. The soluble format allows for rapid absorption and quick pain relief.
How should I take Solpadeine Plus Soluble?
Dissolve 2 tablets in a glass of water and drink immediately. You can take this dose every 4-6 hours as needed, but do not exceed 8 tablets in a 24-hour period. Always follow the dosage instructions on the packaging or as advised by your healthcare provider.
What should I do if I take too many tablets?

Possible Side Effects
Like all medications, Solpadeine Plus Soluble can cause side effects, though not everyone will experience them. Common side effects include nausea, dizziness, or drowsiness.

How to Store Solpadeine Plus Soluble
Store the tablets in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Do not use the medication after the expiry date stated on the packaging.
Dependence and Tolerance

If you find that you need to take Solpadeine Plus Soluble regularly for more than three days, consult your doctor for further advice.
Special Precautions
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Solpadeine Plus Soluble is not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to the presence of codeine, which can pass to the baby and potentially cause harm.
- Driving and Operating Machinery: The codeine in Solpadeine Plus Soluble can cause drowsiness or dizziness. If affected, do not drive or operate heavy machinery.
