Description
Acetaminophen-Codeine 300/60 mg is a combination medication used to relieve moderate to severe pain. This product contains two active ingredients: acetaminophen, a non-opioid analgesic, and codeine, an opioid analgesic. Acetaminophen works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation, while codeine binds to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, altering the perception of pain.
This medication is indicated for the management of pain that cannot be controlled by non-opioid analgesics alone. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as post-surgical pain, injuries, or other painful medical conditions. Acetaminophen-Codeine 300/60 mg is typically taken orally in tablet form.
Potential side effects of Acetaminophen-Codeine 300/60 mg include drowsiness, constipation, nausea, and dizziness, common to opioid medications. Prolonged use or misuse can lead to physical dependence and tolerance. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and avoid exceeding the recommended daily dose to minimize the risk of liver damage and opioid-related complications.
