Klipal
Klipal medication contains two active ingredients: paracetamol and codeine phosphate. Klipal is used to relieve pain and reduce fever. Unlike aspirin, it does not relieve the redness, stiffness, or swelling caused by rheumatoid arthritis. However, it may relieve the pain caused by mild forms of arthritis.
Paracetamol is a medicine used in the treatment of mild to moderate pain. It is also useful for reducing fever. It is not fully understood how paracetamol produces these effects.
Codeine belongs to group of medicines called opioids. Opioids mimic the effects of naturally occurring pain reducing chemicals (endorphins) that are found in the brain and spinal cord. They act on the opioid receptors in the brain and block the transmission of pain signals.
Klipal is used to reduce fever and to relieve mild to moderate pain caused by a variety of conditions (eg headache, toothache, neuralgia, migraine, period pains). Klipal is available without a prescription.
