Uses of Unigesic 32.5mg/325mg Tablet

Unigesic 32.5mg/325mg Tablet is a combination painkiller that has been used for mild to moderate pain, such as headache, toothache, muscle pain and pain after minor injuries. It has been withdrawn in many countries, including the UK, the European Union and the United States, because of the risk of heart rhythm problems and fatal overdose. Where it is still available, it should only be used on a doctor’s prescription, and safer painkillers are generally preferred.

How Unigesic 32.5mg/325mg Tablet works

Dextropropoxyphene is a weak opioid that acts on pain receptors in the brain and spinal cord to reduce the sensation of pain. Paracetamol works mainly in the brain to reduce pain and fever. Together they give somewhat more relief than paracetamol alone for some people.

Possible side effects

Unigesic 32.5mg/325mg Tablet can cause opioid-type side effects. The more common ones are:

• Drowsiness
• Dizziness or light-headedness
• Nausea or vomiting
• Constipation
• Headache

Overdose can be fatal, even in amounts not far above those prescribed; get emergency help for slow or shallow breathing, extreme drowsiness, an irregular heartbeat, fits or confusion.

Precautions and warnings

• Dextropropoxyphene is a controlled opioid that can cause dependence; use it only as prescribed and do not stop suddenly after regular use.
• Do not take any other product containing paracetamol at the same time, as this can lead to serious liver damage.
• Never drink alcohol or take sleeping pills, sedatives or other opioids with it, as this greatly increases the risk of fatal overdose.
• Tell your doctor if you have heart rhythm problems, liver or kidney disease, depression, or a history of drug or alcohol misuse.
• It is not suitable for children and should be avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding.

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.
