Codeine Phosphate 30mg Tablets

Buy Codeine Phosphate 30mg Tablets Online UK

Codeine Phosphate 30mg Tablets are used for the relief of moderate pain when other painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen are not effective on their own. Each tablet contains 30mg of codeine phosphate, an opioid analgesic that works by blocking pain signals sent to the brain, offering effective and reliable pain control.

These tablets are often used in the treatment of dental pain, muscle pain, headaches, and post-surgical discomfort. They may also be prescribed in combination with other medications, such as paracetamol or aspirin, to enhance pain relief.

Buy Codeine Phosphate 30mg in the UK

You can buy Codeine Phosphate 30mg online from UK-licensed pharmacies such as UK Sleep Well, provided you have a valid prescription. This medicine is a controlled drug in the UK due to its potential for misuse and should be taken only under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

It is most suitable for short-term use and should not be used for more than three consecutive days unless advised by a doctor.

How long does Codeine 30mg take to work?

Codeine usually starts working within 30 to 60 minutes after being taken, with pain relief lasting for around 4 to 6 hours. It is recommended to space doses evenly throughout the day to maintain continuous relief without exceeding the maximum allowed dose.

Precautions to avoid misuse

Codeine should only be used in the lowest effective dose for the shortest time necessary. It should not be taken with alcohol or sedatives, and it is important not to exceed the recommended dosage. Misuse can lead to addiction, withdrawal symptoms, or serious side effects, especially when used for longer than prescribed.

Further information about Codeine Phosphate 30mg

Codeine is often used when paracetamol or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) alone do not control pain effectively. It is sometimes included in compound medicines such as Co-codamol but is also available as a single active ingredient in these 30mg tablets.

It is not suitable for children under 12 and should be used with caution in older adults or individuals with respiratory conditions.

How does Codeine 30mg work in the body?

Codeine is converted in the liver into morphine, which then binds to opioid receptors in the brain and nervous system. This alters how pain is perceived and increases tolerance to discomfort, helping patients feel more comfortable during recovery or flare-ups of chronic pain conditions.

Expected side effects

Common side effects may include:

• Drowsiness

• Constipation

• Nausea

• Dizziness

• Dry mouth

If you experience any difficulty breathing, allergic reactions, or unusual tiredness, stop taking the medication and seek medical advice.

Recommended dosage

The usual adult dose is one or two 30mg tablets every 4 to 6 hours as needed for pain, not exceeding 240mg in 24 hours. Always take codeine exactly as prescribed and swallow tablets whole with a glass of water.

Precautions to consider

Avoid driving or operating machinery after taking codeine, especially if it causes drowsiness or blurred vision. Let your doctor know if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking any other medications, particularly sedatives or antidepressants.
