Description
Zapain® is a prescription-only medicine that contains two active ingredients: paracetamol and codeine phosphate. Together, they provide effective relief for moderate pain that has not been controlled by simpler painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen alone. Paracetamol works to reduce pain and fever, while codeine is an opioid that helps relieve stronger pain. Zapain is usually prescribed for short-term use in conditions such as musculoskeletal pain, dental pain, or after surgery. It is important to take this medicine exactly as directed by your doctor, as codeine can be habit-forming if taken for long periods. Patients should not exceed the recommended dose and should avoid alcohol while taking Zapain. Like all medicines, it may cause side effects, such as drowsiness or constipation, so care should be taken when driving or operating machinery.
