• Relief of moderate pain, such as headaches, toothaches, or post-surgical pain
• Alleviating discomfort associated with musculoskeletal conditions
• Managing pain where other analgesics may not provide adequate relief

Side Effects:

• Drowsiness or sedation
• Nausea or vomiting
• Constipation
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Allergic reactions (rare, such as rash or itching)
• Potential for dependence or addiction due to the presence of codeine

Precautions:

• Use with caution in individuals with a history of substance abuse, respiratory issues, or liver disease.
• Avoid alcohol and other sedatives while taking this medication, as they can enhance drowsiness and respiratory depression.
• Do not use during pregnancy or breastfeeding without consulting your healthcare provider.
• Follow the prescribed dosage strictly, as overuse can lead to liver damage (due to paracetamol) or increased risk of respiratory issues (due to codeine).
• If pain persists or worsens after a few days of use, seek medical advice.
• Be aware of potential withdrawal symptoms if the medication is stopped suddenly after prolonged use.
