Advantages: Works well to relieve pain

Disadvantages: Sleepiness and Constipation

When I injured my knee last year I took Co-Codamol Tablets That were prescibed to me by the Doctor at the A&E in hospital.

I found they worked really well to get rid of the pain not just in my knee but all the aches and pains I was suffering with at the time. I found they also made me feel really relaxed.

As for side affects they give you a feeling of euphoria as it was described on the information leaflett in the box I didn't think it was quite that great but I was deeply relaxed and content. Which was nice considering I had a badly injured knee. I also suffered with constipation but tomato juice and lots of fruit soon sorted that out. It did also make me feel sleepy which was hard when I was trying to concentrate at my computer at work.

I found that the pain releif did start to wear off a little too soon before I had to take my next dose which was a shame and the once I took the Tablets again I had to wait a good half hour before they worked properly.

I wouldn't have liked to take to many of these though as this can cause liver damage. I was also very carful not to drink any alcohol while taking them as this can also affect the liver. Which wasn't great over Christmas but at least my knee didn't hurt.

Summary: Would use again if I needed to.
