How Do Paramol Tablets Work?

Paramol Tablets work by combining two pain-relieving ingredients. paracetamol, known for its ability to reduce pain and fever, works by blocking brain chemical signals telling us we have pain. Additionally, dihydrocodeine, a stronger painkiller, works in the nervous system to reduce pain sensations, making this combination effective for moderate pain.

Paramol tablets should be taken following the recommended dose; if you’re still trying to figure out how to take Paramol Pablets, read the patient information leaflet or speak to one of our pharmacists.

In the UK, you don’t need a prescription to purchase Paramol Tablets; they can be bought over the counter or online. Paramol can be purchased from Click2Pharmacy’s online pain relief clinic, which offers fast and free delivery options.

Drinking alcohol whilst taking Paramol may heighten side effects such as feeling sleepy or dizzy. Additionally, It can also raise the chance of harming your liver and kidneys, so it’s advised to steer clear of alcohol during Paramol treatment.

Drowsiness can be a side effect of taking Paramol, and in the UK, It’s an offence to drive if medication impairs your driving ability. Therefore, you should avoid driving or using any tools or machinery if Paramol makes you sleepy or you’re unsure how it impacts you.
