Keep in mind that the codeine in Solpadeine Max may make you feel a bit drowsy and that it is also addictive, so it’s best not to use it to manage chronic pain. Pain is your body’s way of alerting you to problems, and that’s why it’s wisest to find and treat the cause of ongoing pain, rather than mask its symptoms on an ongoing basis.
Solpadeine Max Tablets are used for the treatment of acute to moderate pain, when other painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen, have not worked. Solpadeine Max tablets are dual-acting, because they contain a combination of paracetamol and codeine for relief from migraine, rheumatic pain, backache, dental pain, period pain, sciatica, strains and sprains and more, while the paracetamol also works as a pain reliever while helping to lower high temperatures and fever, helping to relieve symptoms caused by colds and flu. Codeine is part of a group of medicines known as opioid analgesics, which are painkillers.
Do not take less than 4 hours after taking other painkillers.

Before you take Solpadeine Max please see your doctor if:
You are pregnant or breastfeeding.
You are taking drugs prescribed for depression (MAOIs).
You are taking metoclopramide or domperidone – used to treat nausea and vomiting.
You are taking colestyramine – used to treat high cholesterol.
You have severe liver or kidney disease.
You are taking anti-coagulants (drugs to thin the blood, e.g. warfarin), and you need to take a painkiller on a daily basis over a long period. However, you can take occasional doses of Solpadeine Max.

Side Effects
In some people, Solpadeine Max can cause constipation, nausea, or allergic reactions, such as skin rash.
This medicine contains codeine, which can cause addiction (if you take it continuously for more than three days), leading to withdrawal symptoms from the medicine when you stop taking it.
If you are affected by dizziness or drowsiness, you must not drive or operate machinery.
In all the years that paracetamol has been used, there have been very rare reports of blood disorders, and these were not necessarily caused by paracetamol.
All of the above effects should go away once you stop taking the medicine. However, if you are concerned about any of these effects, or if Solpadeine Max affects you in any other way, stop taking it immediately and talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
