Solpadeine Max Soluble Tablets are an effective choice for those seeking acute moderate pain relief. These tablets combine paracetamol, codeine, and caffeine, offering a dual-action approach to relieving pain that other painkillers like ibuprofen and paracetamol alone can’t manage.

How do Solpadeine Max Soluble Tablets work?

Solpadeine Max Soluble’s active ingredients help to relieve acute moderate pain symptoms. Paracetamol reduces the production of chemicals in the brain causing pain and fever alongside caffeine, which increases its pain-relieving effect, making it more effective. Whereas codeine enhances pain relief by acting on the central nervous system, altering the perception and response to pain. They help to manage pain caused by conditions such as:

  • Headaches
  • Dental pain
  • Period pain
  • Backache
  • Arthritis
  • Rheumatic pain
  • Sciatica.
