Synadoc 15|500|30 mg Tablet is a tablet made by Syntex that contains Paracetamol + Codeine + Caffeine 500/30mg, a combination painkiller containing an opioid. It is used for moderate pain, headache, toothache, back pain and period pain. Pack size: 3 x10 tablets.

Uses of Synadoc 15|500|30 mg Tablet

Synadoc 15|500|30 mg Tablet is used for short-term relief of moderate pain that has not been controlled by paracetamol or ibuprofen alone, such as toothache, headache, back pain, muscle pain and period pain. Because it contains codeine, an opioid, it is meant for short courses only and should be used exactly as a doctor advises.

How Synadoc 15|500|30 mg Tablet works

Paracetamol reduces pain signals and fever in the brain. Codeine is converted in the body to morphine and acts on opioid receptors to dull pain, while caffeine helps the painkillers work a little faster and more effectively.

Possible side effects

Codeine-containing medicines can cause side effects, especially at the start. The more common ones include:

• Constipation
• Drowsiness or dizziness
• Nausea or vomiting
• Dry mouth
• Restlessness or difficulty sleeping (from caffeine)

Get urgent medical help for slow or shallow breathing, extreme sleepiness, confusion, or signs of an allergic reaction. An overdose can also cause serious liver damage because of the paracetamol.

Precautions and warnings

• Codeine can cause dependence; use it only for a few days unless your doctor advises otherwise, and do not share it.
• Do not take other medicines containing paracetamol at the same time.
• Avoid alcohol and do not drive if you feel drowsy.
• It should not be given to children under 12 or to people who have had their tonsils removed for sleep apnoea.
• Do not use it while breastfeeding, and ask your doctor before use in pregnancy.

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.
