Co-codamol is a combination of paracetamol and codeine, two distinct pain relievers. It is used to treat a variety of aches and pains, such as toothaches, migraines, headaches, and muscle aches. It is usually given in cases where more conventional pain relievers, like aspirin, ibuprofen, and paracetamol, are not effective. The medicine is available in pill and capsule versions.
