Solpadeine Max Soluble 24 Tablets provides effective relief from aches and pains.

Benefits:

• Fast-acting
• Quickly absorbed
• Contains both paracetamol and codeine
• High strength pharmacy formula
• Easy to take effervescent tablets
• Manage occasional and moderate pain

Solpadeine tablets quickly dissolve in water – meaning they're absorbed quickly. They're suitable for short-term treatment of moderate pain, including migraine, rheumatic pain, backache, dental pain, period pain, sciatica, and strains and sprains. These tablets are also analgesic with paracetamol and codeine – so they work together to ease aches and pain that can't be managed by paracetamol alone. Fast-acting on the system, the paracetamol blocks pain signals sent to the brain, and the codeine helps release endorphins that mimic the body's natural response for killing pain.

As these tablets are very effective, you shouldn't use them for more than 3 days of continued use.
