[6] Its plasma terminal elimination half-life is 1.9–2.5 hours, [6] and volume of distribution is roughly 50 L. [132] Protein binding is negligible, except under the conditions of overdose, when it may reach 15–21 %. [6]

Codeine/paracetamol, also called codeine/acetaminophen and co-codamol, is a compound analgesic, comprising codeine phosphate and paracetamol (acetaminophen). Codeine/paracetamol is used for the relief of mild to moderate pain when paracetamol or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs; such as ibuprofen, aspirin, and naproxen) alone do not sufficiently relieve symptoms.
