More About Zapain?
Zapain is a pain relief medication for sudden acute pain and moderate pain to severe pain, that contains both pain relievers, paracetamol and codeine. It can be prescribed for short term treatment of certain types of headaches, dental pain, period pain and joint pain. The generic version of Zapain is called co-codamol.

Zapain is sometimes prescribed when milder forms of pain relief such as standalone paracetamol or ibuprofen have not relieved the pain.

The codeine in Zapain can become addictive when it is used long term, so you will be advised that Zapain is likely to be a short term pain medication to avoid dependence and codeine withdrawal symptoms.

It is important to read the patient leaflet for a full list of side effects and cautions.

Is Zapain a prescription medication?
Yes, Zapain is a pain killer that is only available on prescription from a doctor, nurse or pharmacist prescriber. Common indications for a Zapain prescription are the same as a prescription for co-codamol tablets, they include toothache, migraine and aching joints associated with arthritis.

How Does Zapain Work?
Zapain contains a combination of paracetamol and codeine.

Paracetamol has been used for generations as a painkiller medication, but its mechanism of action is still unclear. It is likely that paracetamol reduces prostaglandin production in the brain, which in turn increases our tolerance to pain. This means that although the pain might still be there, we feel less bothered by it.

Codeine is part of the drug family called opioids. Opioids work by blocking pain signals in the brain and spinal cord, so that the pain subsides or completely disappears.

It is beneficial to take more than one type of pain relief medication when trying to manage moderate to severe pain. As Zapain combines two drugs in one tablet, it is favoured by many as it reduces the total number of pills you need to take.
