Age Restrictions for Solpadeine Plus Capsules

Solpadeine Plus Tablets are suitable for adults and children aged 12 and over. However, the dosage varies depending on age, so please follow the instructions carefully.

How to Use Solpadeine Plus Capsules?

When using Solpadeine tablets, please follow these instructions:

  • Dosage: Adults over 18 should take 2 capsules every 4 to 6 hours, up to a maximum of 8 capsules per day. Children over 12 can take 1-2 capsules every six hours.
  • Taking the Tablets: Always take the capsules whole with water. Never split or crush them.
  • Usage: Please avoid using the medication for longer than three days. If your symptoms persist, ask a doctor for advice.
  • Be Careful: Because Solpadeine contains codeine, it can make you drowsy. If you notice any symptoms, please avoid using machinery or driving.

When to Avoid Using Solpadeine Plus Tablets?

If any of the following apply, please avoid using Solpadeine Plus and ask a registered pharmacist for alternatives:

  • Respiratory Conditions: If you have severe asthma or a condition like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), codeine can potentially suppress your breathing.
  • Liver or Kidney Disease: If you have kidney or liver problems, it can lead to a toxic buildup of codeine and paracetamol.
  • Head Injuries: An existing head injury can cause increased intracranial pressure and worsen your symptoms.
  • Alcoholism: Alcohol can elevate codeine's sedative effects and may cause liver damage.
  • Young Children: You should never give codeine to children under 12.
  • Pregnant/Breastfeeding: In most cases, you should avoid codeine medicines while pregnant. The medicine can also pass into the baby's bloodstream through breast milk.

Precautions for Solpadeine Plus Tablets

Solpadeine is a strong medication, and we recommend taking the following precautions:

  • Combining Medicines: Never take Solpadeine with other products that contain paracetamol or codeine. The same applies to sleeping tablets or sedatives.
  • MAOIs: If you've recently taken MAOI antidepressants, it's best to wait for at least two weeks before using Solpadeine.
  • Addiction History: Individuals with a history of addiction should be cautious when using opioids, as they can cause a relapse.
  • Ultra-Rapid Metabolisers: If you have a condition where your liver turns codeine into morphine quickly, you may feel drowsy and confused.
