what is codeine phosphate paracetamol

Dear steinway-ga;

Thank you for allowing me to answer your interesting question. I shall
quote here due to the sensitivity and accuracy issues surrounding
medications and safety.

?Paracetamol is a medicine used in the treatment of mild to moderate pain.?

?Codeine belongs to group of medicines called opioids. Opioids mimic
the effects of naturally occurring pain reducing chemicals
(endorphins) that are found in the brain and spinal cord. They act on
the opioid receptors in the brain and block the transmission of pain
signals.?

?This combination is used to reduce fever and to relieve mild to
moderate pain caused by a variety of conditions (eg headache,
toothache, neuralgia, migraine, period pains).?
