Buy Solpadeine Max Online - Tablets And Soluble

Solpadeine Max is a powerful painkiller that contains both Paracetamol and Codeine. This combination works well as Paracetamol relieves your pain while the Codeine blocks messages from the pain receptors in your brain. Solpadeine Max is effective for treating acute moderate pain and is available both as a tablet and in soluble form.

Benefits Of Solpadeine Max

As well as Paracetamol and Codeine, Solpadeine Max Soluble also contains caffeine. This speeds up absorption of the Paracetamol, giving you even faster relief from pain.

Because Solpadeine Max contains Codeine, you’ll need to complete a quick and easy online consultation before you can access the medication. This will help to ensure the painkiller is the right option for you. 

The Codeine content of Solpadeine Max means you should only use it for three days at a time. If you still require pain relief after three days, speak to a doctor or pharmacist about the other options available.

About Solpadeine Max

Solpadeine Max is available either as tablets or soluble tablets. Solpadeine Max Soluble tablets contain Paracetamol, Codeine and caffeine, while Solpadeine Max tablets contain just Paracetamol and Codeine.

The caffeine that’s contained in Solpadeine Max Soluble tablets speeds up the absorption of paracetamol, possibly relieving your pain even faster. Both types of Solpadeine Max offer an effective combination of Paracetamol and Codeine, allowing you to choose the form of the medication that’s right for you.

Solpadeine Max is generally considered safe to take alongside Aspirin and Ibuprofen, though it’s a good idea to speak to a pharmacist before combining painkillers.

As Solpadeine Max contains Codeine, a medication that’s in the opioid family, you can only take it for three days at a time. If you still require pain relief after three days, talk to your pharmacist about the other options available.

How Does Solpadeine Max Work?

Solpadeine Max combines Paracetamol and Codeine to give you a powerful painkiller that gets to work fast. The tablets contain these two ingredients because they complement each other, working side by side to ease pain and discomfort.

Paracetamol relieves pain while Codeine blocks the pain receptors in your brain. Solpadeine Max Soluble also contains caffeine which has been shown to significantly speed up the pain-relieving properties of Paracetamol, possibly helping you to feel better even faster.

How To Take Solpadeine Max

You can take two tablets or soluble tablets every 4-6 hours as needed to relieve your pain. However, you shouldn’t take more than eight tablets in 24 hours, and you shouldn’t take Solpadeine Max for more than three days.

Children aged 16 to 18 can have one or two tablets or soluble tablets every six hours as needed. People in this age group shouldn’t take more than eight tablets in 24 hours.

Children aged 12 to 15 can have one tablet or soluble tablet every six hours as needed. They shouldn’t take more than four tablets in 24 hours.

Warnings

Solpadeine Max tablets and Solpadeine Max Soluble tablets both contain Codeine, a medication that can cause dependency if it’s used long term. To avoid this, it’s important to limit your use of Solpadeine Max to a maximum of three days. If you still need pain relief after three days, talk to a doctor or pharmacist about your options.

It’s a good idea to avoid alcohol when taking Solpadeine Max. This is because alcohol can increase drowsiness and raise your risk of experiencing side effects.

Codeine can make you feel tired and sleepy. This could make it dangerous for you to drive a car or operate heavy machinery.

When taking Solpadeine Max, don’t take any other medications that contain either Paracetamol or Codeine.
