How Solpadeine Plus (Codeine/Paracetamol) works
Solpadeine Plus (Codeine/Paracetamol) contains 3 active ingredients: paracetamol, codeine and caffeine.
Paracetamol is an analgesic which works to relieve pain. It works by blocking the chemical messengers in the brain that tell you when you have pain.
