Description

Paramol Tablets

Paramol Tablets provide short term relief from acute moderate pain such as headache, migraine, period pain, toothache and other dental pain, back ache, muscular and joint aches and pains and neuralgia. They contain the active ingredients dihydrocodeine and paracetamol and should only be used for pain that is not relieved by other painkillers such as paracetamol, ibuprofen or aspirin alone. They should be taken for a maximum of 3 days. 

Paramol Tablets are available in packs of 12s, 24s and 32s.

Adults and children aged 12 years and over:
  • Take one or two tablets every four to six hours.
