What is Solpadeine Plus?
Solpadeine Plus Soluble tablets are a triple-action pain killer used to treat acute mild-moderate pain. This is pain that distracts you from your daily living activities.
Solpadeine Plus is effective in the treatment of pain caused by:
- Backache
- Period pain
- Migraines & headaches
- Dental pain
- Strains & sprains
- Rheumatic pain & sciatica
Solpadeine Plus contains the active ingredients paracetamol, codeine and caffeine. Paracetamol is an effective pain reliever whereas codeine works by blocking pain messages from reaching the brain.
The caffeine contained in Solpadeine Plus is used to improve the effectiveness of paracetamol while also counteracting drowsiness, which is an unwanted side effect some people may experience when taking codeine.
Solpadeine Plus is suitable for use in people over the age of 12 years who are unable to manage their pain using paracetamol, ibuprofen or aspirin, alone.
Solpadeine Plus should only be taken for 3 consecutive days due to the addictive nature of codeine, which is part of a group of medications called opioid analgesics. If after 3 days you continue to be unable to manage your pain with paracetamol, ibuprofen or aspirin, talk to your doctor or pharmacist for further advice.

What do I do if I take too much Solpadeine Plus?
If you have taken too much Solpadeine Plus may cause you to feel drowsy, nauseous and dizzy. You may also experience difficulty breathing as a result of taking too much codeine.
Taking too much paracetamol can cause serious, irreversible damage to your liver and kidneys. Please be aware, when taking Solpadeine Plus or other medicines that also contain paracetamol. Most over-the-counter cold and flu medicines contain paracetamol.

Frequently asked questions

Is Solpadeine Plus addictive?
Solpadeine Plus contains codeine, which belongs to a group of medications called opioid analgesics. While the risk of addiction is low when taken as directed for short-term pain relief, prolonged or excessive use may lead to dependence. It's essential to follow dosage instructions and use Solpadeine Plus for no more than 3 consecutive days.
Can I drive or operate machinery after taking Solpadeine Plus?
Solpadeine Plus may cause drowsiness, dizziness, or impaired concentration, especially if you're not accustomed to codeine. It's important to assess how Solpadeine Plus affects you before driving or operating machinery. If you experience these side effects, avoid such activities until they subside.
Can I drink alcohol while taking Solpadeine Plus?
It's advisable to avoid alcohol while taking Solpadeine Plus, as both codeine and paracetamol can interact with alcohol, potentially increasing the risk of side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, and liver damage. Consult your doctor or pharmacist before consuming alcohol while using this medication.
What should I do if I miss a dose of Solpadeine Plus?
If you miss a dose of Solpadeine Plus, take it as soon as you remember, unless it's almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not double up on doses to make up for a missed one. Resume your regular dosing schedule, and do not exceed the maximum daily dosage recommended.
Can I take Solpadeine Plus during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
It's generally not recommended to take Solpadeine Plus during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, as it contains codeine, which may cause harm to the unborn baby and lead to withdrawal symptoms in newborns. Similarly, breastfeeding mothers should avoid using Solpadeine Plus due to the potential for codeine to pass into breast milk.
How long does it take for Solpadeine Plus to start working?
Solpadeine Plus typically starts working within 30 minutes to an hour after ingestion. However, individual responses may vary based on factors such as metabolism, the severity of pain, and whether the tablet is taken on an empty stomach or with food.
Can I take Solpadeine Plus if I have certain medical conditions?
Individuals with certain medical conditions such as liver or kidney disease, respiratory problems, gastrointestinal issues, or a history of drug dependence should exercise caution or avoid taking Solpadeine Plus altogether. It's essential to consult a healthcare professional before using this medication if you have any underlying health concerns.
