Citodon – Combination Analgesic (Paracetamol + Codeine) for Moderate Pain (Rx)
Citodon is a combination analgesic containing paracetamol (acetaminophen) and codeine phosphate, used for the treatment of moderate pain that is not adequately controlled by non-opioid analgesics alone.
- Paracetamol provides analgesic and antipyretic effects by acting centrally to reduce pain and fever.
- Codeine is a weak opioid analgesic that is metabolized into morphine in the body, contributing to pain relief through opioid receptor activation in the central nervous system.
This combination offers synergistic pain relief, but requires medical supervision due to the opioid component.
