Paineze 15|500 mg Tablet

Paineze 15|500 mg Tablet is a tablet made by Werrick Pharmaceuticals Pakistan Ltd that contains Paracetamol + Codeine 15/500mg, a combination of a simple painkiller and an opioid. It is used for moderate pain, headache, dental pain, back pain and pain after surgery. Pack size: 10 x10 tablets.

Uses of Paineze 15|500 mg Tablet

Paineze 15|500 mg Tablet is used for short-term relief of moderate pain that has not been controlled by paracetamol or ibuprofen alone. Examples include dental pain, back pain, headache, period pain and pain after minor surgery or injury. Because codeine can cause dependence, it is meant for short courses only and is not suitable for long-term pain without a doctor’s review.

How Paineze 15|500 mg Tablet works

Paracetamol works in the brain to reduce pain signals and lower temperature. Codeine is an opioid that the liver converts into morphine, which then acts on opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord to dull the feeling of pain. Together they relieve pain more effectively than either alone.

Possible side effects

Like other opioid-containing medicines, Paineze 15|500 mg Tablet can cause side effects. The more common ones include:

• Constipation
• Drowsiness
• Nausea or vomiting
• Dizziness
• Headache
• Dry mouth

Get emergency help if someone taking it has slow or shallow breathing, extreme sleepiness, confusion or is hard to wake, or if there are signs of an allergic reaction such as swelling of the face or difficulty breathing.

Precautions and warnings

• Codeine can cause addiction and withdrawal symptoms, so take it only for the short period advised and speak to your doctor if you feel you need it for longer.
• Do not take any other medicines containing paracetamol at the same time, as an overdose can cause serious liver damage.
• Tell your doctor if you have breathing problems, liver or kidney disease, a head injury or a history of alcohol or drug misuse.
• Avoid alcohol, take care with other sedating medicines such as sleeping tablets, and do not drive or use machinery if you feel drowsy.
• Do not give it to children under 12 or use it while breastfeeding, and if you are pregnant take it only on your doctor’s advice.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
