Yes, you can take Panadol (which contains paracetamol) with codeine phosphate, as they work together to relieve pain. However, it's important to follow the recommended dosages for both medications and consult a healthcare professional or pharmacist before combining them, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking other medications. Always ensure you're aware of the potential for increased side effects when using multiple medications.
What else can I help you with?
Is codeine and codeine phosphate the same?
No, codeine and codeine phosphate are not the same. Codeine is an opiate used as a painkiller and cough suppressant, while codeine phosphate is a salt form of codeine that is commonly used in medications for pain relief and cough suppression. The addition of phosphate to codeine can affect its solubility and how it is metabolized in the body.
What is the difference between Codeine phosphate BP and Codeine phosphate hemihydrate?
The main difference is in the hydration state of the molecules. Codeine phosphate BP is the anhydrous form of the codeine salt, while codeine phosphate hemihydrate contains one water molecule per codeine phosphate molecule. This difference can affect properties like solubility and stability.
What over the counter pain medication can be taken with Losartan Tablets?

Does codeine phosphate dissolve in water?
Codeine phosphate (the most common salt of codeine) is very _soluble_ in water including cold water.
What is the difference between codeine phosphate and co-codamol?
Codeine phosphate is a standalone medication that contains codeine, a mild opioid pain reliever, while co-codamol is a combination medication containing codeine and paracetamol (acetaminophen). Co-codamol is typically used for more moderate to severe pain, whereas codeine phosphate can be used for milder pain. Additionally, co-codamol is available in different strengths, depending on the ratio of codeine to paracetamol.
What is the difference with codeine phosphate and dihydrocodeine?
Codeine phosphate is a weaker opioid compared to dihydrocodeine, meaning dihydrocodeine is more potent. Both are used for pain relief, but dihydrocodeine is typically prescribed for moderate to severe pain, while codeine phosphate is often used for milder pain or as a cough suppressant.
Can you take diclofenac with codeine phosphate 60mg?

What is codeine phosphate hemihydrate?
Codeine phosphate hemihydrate is a combination of codeine, an opioid pain medication, and phosphate salts. The hemihydrate form indicates that it contains one water molecule for every two molecules of codeine phosphate. It is often used to treat mild to moderate pain and suppress coughing.
What is codalgin?
Paracetamol and Codeine Phosphate Hemihydrate.
Is codeine phosphate in any way related to penicillin?
no it is not. penicillin is an antibiotic and codeine is an opiate.
How do you deal with Panadol abuse?
Stop taking/giving it if not necessary. It's just an over the counter analgesic. Not addictive. Panadol is a brand name of acetaminophen (Tylenol). Abuse would be taking more than 4000mg. in a 24hr. period. 4000mg. in 24hrs. is the absolute MAXIMUM> The thing to keep in mind is that your liver will "take a beating" and if you drink alcohol you could be in danger of liver faliure. Some guy took Tylenol, then had two martinis, and suffered liver failure. Be good to your liver, the waiting list for a new one is..........a LONG time. BGTYL (be good to your liver). Panadol is non-narcotic so abuse may just be a habit of taking too much I am surprised by the previous two answers. There are formulations of Panadol that contain codeine, and in some countries, may be available without prescription (requiring, however, consultation with the druggist). Abuse is generally associated with the codeine containing versions of Panadol, because codeine can produce psychological or physical dependency, even in the small doses available in the OTC compositions of Panadol. Panadol/codeine abuse is dealt with by tapering down the dose taken each day, until stopped. A 21-day taper is typical in the USA, and probably enough for a codeine habit, which is a moderate dependency. There are many internet sources for information on opioid tapering strategies. The main health concern with Panadol abuse (or in general, codeine/acetaminophen, including Tylenol 1, 2, 3, and 4, Compound 222, and many others) is with the acetaminophen. Codeine, while a weak opioid and narcotic, has no tissue toxicity. In contrast, acetaminophen (Tylenol) is a poison in high dosages. People taking acetaminophen/codeine may attempt to take many tablets in order to overcome the inherent weakness of codeine and the limited doses of it available, thus poisoning themselves not with codeine, but with acetaminophen!
