Codeine for Back Pain

Is Co-Codamol or Codeine Good for Back Pain?

Painkillers are only recommended to be used alongside active treatments such as exercises and movement. This is because painkillers will not fix the problem, but only temporarily relieve the symptoms. For example, painkillers may be prescribed to relieve severe back pain or help you get started moving again. There are risks associated with taking them for long periods of time, so it's best to use them sparingly.

Low back pain typically subsides on its own after some time. The pain usually has an unknown cause. It is then called "non-specific" back pain, which means that the pain cannot be attributed to a specific reason. If low back pain persists for an extended period of time, or if it frequently recurs, it can be challenging to effectively manage. Good-quality studies have shown that only a few treatments are effective. Regular physical activity is one of the most important things you can do for your overall health and well-being.

If other treatments fail to provide adequate relief, low back pain can be treated with stronger, prescription-only painkillers known as opioids. The most commonly known opioid is morphine. Other opioids that may be prescribed include buprenorphine, codeine, hydromorphone, oxycodone, tapentadol, tilidine or tramadol. Opioids can differ in strength, depending on the type of opioid. For instance, morphine is a much more potent opioid than codeine.

Codeine is a strong painkiller and is often prescribed for back pain that hasn't been treatable with less-potent painkillers. If you are looking for the strongest over the counter painkillers UK, you can try co-codamol at a strength of 8/500 (8mg codeine and 500mg paracetamol).

If you would like to know the answer to "Can i get co codamol over the counter?", the answer is "yes", in the form of 8/500 co-codamol. If this is unable to offer the relief you require, consider stronger prescription-only medications such as codeine at 30mg/500mg with paracetamol (called co-codamol), or with 30mg dihydrocodeine (called co-dydramol).
