Paracetamol/Coffeine Sameko (Paracetamol, Caffeine)

Paracetamol/Caffeine combines an analgesic with a central nervous system stimulant to address pain‑related pathways and headache disorders.

• Headache: Provides relief of tension‑type and migraine‑associated pain.
• Fever: Reduces elevated body temperature in febrile conditions.
• Minor musculoskeletal pain: Allevicomboth acute and chronic low‑grade pain such as back‑strain.
• Dental pain: Helps manage postoperative dental discomfort.
• Cold‑related discomfort: Mitigates pain and fatigue associated with common colds.
• Menstrual discomfort: Relieves mild dysmenorrheic pain.

• Paracetamol exerts its antipyretic and analgesic actions primarily by inhibiting central cyclooxygenase enzymes, reducing prostaglandin synthesis in the brain. Caffeine acts as a non‑selective adenosine‑receptor antagonist, increasing neuronal firing and enhancing the perception of analgesia. The combined effect results in improved pain relief and a modest increase in alertness.

Paracetamol/Caffeine may cause a range of adverse reactions, most of which are mild and reversible.
