Solpadeine

Solpadeine is the brand name of a range of pain-relief medication made by GlaxoSmithKline.

In Australia it is marketed as Panadeine^[1]

There appear to be four different medicines using the Solpadeine name, with no common active ingredient between them.

The range includes:

• Solpadeine Headache, a combination of paracetamol and caffeine
• Solpadeine Plus, a compound analgesic containing paracetamol and codeine (Co-codamol), with caffeine
• Solpadeine Max, a compound analgesic containing paracetamol and codeine (Co-codamol), with a higher codeine content than Solpadeine Plus
• Solpadeine Migraine, a compound analgesic containing ibuprofen and codeine

Solpadeine Max tablets contain 12.8 mg of codeine, which in combination with the paracetamol, is effective at relieving mild to moderate pain.
