Zapain 30Mg 500Mg Tabletės, Zapain 30mg/500mg tabletės are a commonly prescribed pain relief medication that combines two active ingredients—codeine phosphate (30mg) and paracetamol (500mg). This combination is widely used to manage moderate to severe pain when other painkillers, such as paracetamol or ibuprofen alone, have proven insufficient.
What Is Zapain 30mg/500mg Used For?
Zapain is particularly effective for treating pain caused by:
- Post-surgical recovery
- Dental procedures
- Musculoskeletal conditions like arthritis or back pain
- Migraine headaches
- Injury-related pain
The Zapain 30mg/500mg tabletės formulation is designed to offer both fast and lasting pain relief. Paracetamol helps reduce fever and mild pain, while codeine, an opioid, acts on the central nervous system to change how the body perceives pain.
Dosage and Administration
Always follow your doctor’s prescription when taking Zapain 30mg/500mg tabletės. The typical adult dose is:
- 1 to 2 tablets every 4 to 6 hours, as needed.
- Do not exceed 8 tablets in 24 hours.
These tablets should be swallowed whole with water and can be taken with or without food.
Important Warnings and Precautions
Zapain contains codeine, which can be habit-forming. Long-term use can lead to dependence or addiction. Consider the following precautions:
- Avoid alcohol while taking Zapain, as it increases the risk of serious side effects like respiratory depression.
- Do not drive or operate machinery if you feel drowsy or dizzy.
- Not recommended for children under 12, and caution is advised in adolescents under 18 following tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy.
Patients with liver or kidney issues, or a history of substance abuse, should consult a healthcare provider before using Zapain 30mg/500mg tabletės.
Possible Side Effects
Common side effects may include:
- Drowsiness
- Constipation
- Nausea or vomiting
- Dry mouth
- Lightheadedness
Serious side effects—though rare—can include breathing difficulties, allergic reactions, or signs of liver damage (such as yellowing of the skin or eyes).
Final Thoughts
Zapain 30mg/500mg tabletės are a powerful option for managing pain that does not respond to simpler medications. However, because of the presence of codeine, they should be used cautiously and under strict medical supervision. Always consult with your doctor or pharmacist before starting or stopping this medication.
