About Co-Codamol 30/500

Co-Codamol 30/500 is a combination pain medicine containing codeine phosphate and paracetamol. The “30/500” strength refers to the amount of each active ingredient in one tablet: 30mg of codeine phosphate and 500mg of paracetamol.

The 30/500 strength is prescription-only in the UK. The exact appearance, excipients, manufacturer details and patient leaflet can differ between brands, so the leaflet supplied with the exact medicine should be checked before use.

What Is Co-Codamol 30/500 Used For?

Co-codamol is used for pain relief. NHS guidance explains that co-codamol may be used when everyday painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen have not provided enough relief. The exact reason for treatment should come from the prescriber and the leaflet supplied with the medicine.

For broader background information, read what Co-Codamol is and what it is used for.

How Does Co-Codamol Work?

The two active ingredients relieve pain in different ways. Codeine acts on opioid receptors in the central nervous system and brain, while paracetamol works through pain and temperature pathways. NHS guidance says co-codamol can take up to about one hour to work and can keep working for around five hours, although individual response varies.

Brand Options and the Medicine Supplied

This product currently displays “Any Brand (No Preference)” alongside several named manufacturers. The exact brand can affect the leaflet, excipients, appearance and licensing details. The final product page should explain how a selected brand is fulfilled and when an alternative may be supplied. This wording must be confirmed by the client before publication.

Instructions

How to Take Co-Codamol 30/500

Always take Co-Codamol 30/500 exactly as prescribed and follow the label and patient leaflet supplied with the exact medicine. Do not increase the dose because pain is severe, and do not use another medicine containing paracetamol unless a doctor has specifically advised it.

NHS general adult guidance for co-codamol states that adults can take 1 or 2 tablets up to 4 times in 24 hours, leaving at least 4 to 6 hours between doses, with a maximum of 8 tablets in 24 hours. The prescription label and exact leaflet take priority for the individual patient.

Important Paracetamol Check

Co-Codamol 30/500 already contains 500mg of paracetamol in each tablet. Taking additional paracetamol-containing medicines can increase the risk of overdose.

Food, Alcohol and Other Medicines

Co-codamol can be taken with or without food. Alcohol can increase sleepiness and the risk of serious side effects from codeine. Other medicines can also interact with co-codamol, so the current medicine list should be checked with the prescriber or pharmacist.

For broader safe-use information, see the Co-Codamol dosage and safety guide.

How Long Should Co-Codamol Be Taken?

Use the medicine for the duration set by the prescriber. If you have been taking co-codamol for more than a few weeks, do not stop suddenly without speaking to the clinician responsible for your treatment, because codeine can cause dependence and withdrawal symptoms.

Safety & Side Effects

Who May Not Be Able to Take Co-Codamol?

Co-codamol is not suitable for everyone. NHS guidance says patients should tell their doctor before taking it if they have relevant breathing or lung problems, a head injury, adrenal gland problems, liver or kidney problems, problems passing urine, or a history of seizures, alcohol dependence or medicine dependence.

Contraindications and precautions can differ between brands and formulations. The leaflet supplied with the exact medicine should therefore be treated as the product-specific reference.

Common Side Effects

Common side effects listed by the NHS include constipation, feeling or being sick, dizziness, sleepiness and headaches. If an effect is persistent, severe or worrying, the patient should seek advice from a pharmacist, prescriber or other appropriate healthcare professional.

Read the dedicated Co-Codamol side-effects guide for broader information.

Driving and Drowsiness

Co-codamol can make some people sleepy, dizzy or less alert. Do not drive, cycle or use tools or machinery if you are affected. Follow the leaflet supplied with the exact medicine, including any controlled-drug driving warning.

Tolerance, Dependence and Addiction

Codeine is an opioid and can cause tolerance, dependence and addiction, particularly with repeated or prolonged use. If you are concerned that you are needing more medicine, using it more often than prescribed, or finding it difficult to stop, speak to the prescriber or pharmacist rather than changing the dose yourself.

For more detail, see Co-Codamol addiction, dependence and overdose.

Emergency Information

What If You Take More Co Codamol Than Recommended?

Taking too much co-codamol can be dangerous because of both codeine and paracetamol. NHS guidance says to contact NHS 111 if you have taken more than the recommended dose, even if you feel well, because paracetamol-related liver damage can be delayed.

Call 999 or go to A&E if more than the recommended dose has been taken and there is difficulty breathing. Take the medicine packet or leaflet and any remaining tablets with you where possible, along with information about other medicines taken.

Patient Information Leaflet (PIL)

Before taking the medicine, read the Patient Information Leaflet supplied with the exact brand and formulation. Because this product page can show more than one manufacturer, do not present one manufacturer’s leaflet as if it applies to every brand.

Content/SEO opportunity: use the heading “Co-Codamol 30/500 Patient Information Leaflet (PIL)” and provide the exact manufacturer leaflet where the selected brand is known. For Any Brand (No Preference), direct users to the leaflet supplied with the medicine and, if useful, the official eMC Co-Codamol 30/500 search page.

Faqs

Can I buy Co-Codamol 30/500 online in the UK?

This product page provides the current Co-Codamol 30/500 strength, 100-tablet pack, brand choices, price, safety and delivery information for customers considering an online order. Co-Codamol 30/500 is prescription-only in the UK, so any supply must follow the applicable prescription and pharmacy process.

What does Co-Codamol 30/500 mean?

Each tablet contains 30mg of codeine phosphate and 500mg of paracetamol. The first number refers to codeine and the second to paracetamol.

Is Co-Codamol 30/500 prescription-only in the UK?

Yes. The higher 15/500 and 30/500 strengths are prescription-only in the UK.

Where can I find the Co-Codamol 30/500 Patient Information Leaflet?

Read the leaflet supplied with the exact medicine. If a named manufacturer is selected, link to that manufacturer’s current official PIL where verified. Do not use one brand’s leaflet as a universal leaflet for all possible brands.

Can you take paracetamol with Co-Codamol 30/500?

Not unless a doctor has specifically advised it. Co-Codamol 30/500 already contains 500mg of paracetamol per tablet, so adding another paracetamol-containing medicine can increase overdose risk.

Can you take ibuprofen with Co-Codamol?

NHS guidance says co-codamol can be taken with ibuprofen, but ibuprofen is not suitable for everyone. Check with a pharmacist or doctor if you have health conditions or take other medicines that may make an NSAID unsuitable.

How long does Co-Codamol take to work?

NHS guidance says co-codamol can take up to about one hour to work and may keep working for around five hours. Do not take extra doses to try to make it work faster.

Can Co-Codamol make you sleepy?

Yes. Sleepiness is a recognised side effect. Do not drive, cycle or use machinery if the medicine makes you sleepy or dizzy.

Can Co-Codamol cause constipation?

Yes. Constipation is a common side effect because codeine can slow digestion. If constipation is persistent or difficult to manage, ask a pharmacist or doctor for advice.

Can Co-Codamol cause dependence or addiction?

Yes. Codeine is an opioid and repeated use can lead to tolerance, dependence and addiction. Follow the prescribed dose and duration and speak to the prescriber if you are worried about use or stopping treatment.
