Indications & Clinical Uses

Paracetamol/codeine phosphate is an analgesic combination used for pain management.

  • Mild to moderate acute pain: provides relief when non‑opioid analgesics alone are inadequate.
  • Post‑operative pain: helps control discomfort after surgical procedures.
  • Dental pain: reduces discomfort associated with dental extractions or procedures.
  • Short‑term severe musculoskeletal pain: used for brief relief of intense flare‑ups.

How It Works

  • Paracetamol reduces pain and fever by inhibiting central cyclooxygenase enzymes, decreasing prostaglandin synthesis in the brain. Codeine phosphate hemihydrate is a pro‑drug converted to morphine, which activates μ‑opioid receptors in the central nervous system, producing analgesia and a modest antitussive effect. The combined actions provide synergistic pain relief.

Side Effects

Common Side Effects

  • Nausea: mild to moderate upset stomach.
  • Constipation: reduced bowel movements.
  • Dizziness: feeling light‑headed or unsteady.
  • Drowsiness: increased sleepiness.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Respiratory depression: slowed breathing, especially at higher doses.
  • Severe allergic reaction: rash, swelling, or anaphylaxis.
  • Liver toxicity: elevated enzymes or hepatic injury, particularly with overdose.

Precautions & Warnings

Paracetamol/Kodein Evolan should be used only after assessing pain severity and patient history.

  • Hepatic impairment: avoid or use with caution in severe liver disease.
  • Elderly patients: monitor for increased sedation and falls.
  • Concomitant CNS depressants: do not combine with other opioids, benzodiazepines, or alcohol.
  • Dependence risk: watch for signs of misuse or addiction.
  • Store at room temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture.

Avoid Interactions

Paracetamol/Kodein Evolan may interact with several medicines.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Other opioid analgesics: additive risk of respiratory depression.
  • Benzodiazepines: increased sedation and respiratory compromise.
  • Alcohol: enhances central nervous system depression.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • CYP2D6 inhibitors (e.g., fluoxetine): may raise codeine levels.
  • CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., rifampicin): may reduce codeine effectiveness.
  • Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): paracetamol can potentiate anticoagulant effect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Paracetamol/Kodein Evolan is an oral analgesic combination indicated for the short‑term relief of moderate to severe pain, such as post‑operative discomfort, dental pain, and acute musculoskeletal pain, as well as for reducing fever when non‑opioid options are insufficient.

Paracetamol acts centrally by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes, which lowers prostaglandin production in the brain, thereby reducing pain perception and fever. Codeine phosphate is metabolised to morphine, which binds to μ‑opioid receptors in the central nervous system, providing additional analgesic effect.

The specific dose and dosing interval are determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s age, weight, pain severity, and overall health status. No universal dosing regimen is provided here; the prescriber will tailor therapy to each individual case.

Paracetamol is generally considered low risk in pregnancy when used at recommended doses, but codeine crosses the placenta and may cause neonatal respiratory depression. Breastfeeding mothers should consult a healthcare professional, as codeine can be secreted in breast milk and affect the infant.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including any temperature requirements), and necessary import documentation.

Compared with non‑opioid NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, this combination adds an opioid component, offering stronger analgesia for pain that does not respond to NSAIDs alone. However, it carries additional risks of sedation, respiratory depression, and dependence, which are not typical of NSAIDs.

Paracetamol/Kodein Evolan should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging to protect it from moisture and light. Keep the tablets out of reach of children and do not use after the expiry date printed on the label.

The medication is supplied as oral tablets and should be taken with a full glass of water. It is usually taken with or without food, as directed by the prescriber, and the dosing schedule should be strictly followed to avoid accidental overdose.

The most serious risks include respiratory depression, especially when combined with other CNS depressants; severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis; and potential liver toxicity if paracetamol is taken in excess or in patients with pre‑existing liver disease.

Patients with severe hepatic impairment, uncontrolled respiratory conditions, known hypersensitivity to paracetamol or codeine, or those taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors should avoid this product. It is also contraindicated in children under the age limits set by local regulations for codeine‑containing medicines.
