Co-Codamol Addiction Support & Treatment
A co-codamol addiction can occur if you take the medicine for a prolonged period of time and therefore become tolerant to it. This may cause users to need a higher dosage to get the same effects and can in turn cause withdrawal symptoms when the medication is not taken, which will not only be noticed by you but those around you as well.
If you find yourself in this situation, rehab help for co-codamol is a method of freeing yourself from the addiction.
What is Co Codamol?
Co-codamol is a combination of two methods of pain relief. As the medication contains both paracetamol and codeine, it relieves pain in two ways.
The paracetamol in co-codamol works by blocking impulses i.e. chemical messengers, in the brain which tells us that we are in pain.
Codeine comes under a group of medicines referred to as opiates. It works by affecting pain receptors in the central nervous system (CNS) and in turn blocking pain signals from the brain and CNS to the rest of the body.
By combining these two painkillers into one form, it allows pain relief that may not be achieved with stand-alone medications such as paracetamol alone.
