Yes. Paracetamol and codeine are a very good combination for pain killing. The recommended safe dosage is 1 to 2 paracetamol (500mg tablets) + 1 to 2 codeine (30mg tablets) every four hours.
If ibuprofen is taken in combination, it may cause nausea, so it is best to be avoided.
I have just been prescribed these two drugs to alleviate the pain of osteoarthritis in my hips. The paracetamol is to be taken every six hours and the codeine sulphate every four hours, as needed. I understand that cocodamol is made up of these two drugs but that taking them separately provides flexibility in controlling pain.
Pain relief
Yes
Yes you can take both together. Paracetamol kills the pain and the penicillin kills the infection.
Yes you can take paracetamol or codeine
Yes, this combination is fine to take together, just make sure you stick to the recommended doses, and stay under the daily maximum dosage.
You need to split the ibuprofen and the paracetamol by about 3 hours. These are both pain medicines - you don't want to take a bunch of pain medicines together. It is quite save, however, to take one, wait 3 hours, then switch and take the other. You can keep switching back and forth in this way until you feel better.The codeine I would be more careful with - it is OK to take this with one or the other of the other two drugs, but I would not take codeine any closer than every 4 hours.
In relation to your question; no you can't have alcohol with codeine/ ibuprofen or paracetamol; there should be instructions as to what substances you are allowed to have along with medication but I would refrain from mixing drugs together or drinking until you have finished your course of medication.
Yes, you can take as much as you like up to about 300mg, after that a lot of factors come into play about jow many mg/kg of codeine will be toxic - health, tolerance, etc, Many over the counter medications aroud the world contain 500mg paracetamol / 12mg codeine and are quite safe.
Yes, that's all co-codamol is. I take prescribed co-codamol 30-500 per tablet. 30 codeine and 500 paracetamol. Never take more than 8 paracetamol a day and always leave it for 12hrs before you start your next eight. Be careful with the codeine as it is very addictive and too much will give you terrible constipation. Hope that helps
