Narcogin Forte is a medication formulated to provide relief from moderate to severe pain. It contains a combination of two active pharmaceutical ingredients: Codeine and Paracetamol (also known as Acetaminophen).
Active Ingredients of Narcogin Forte
The specific composition of each Narcogin Forte tablet is as follows:
Ingredient | Quantity per Tablet |
---|---|
Codeine | 30.0 mg |
Paracetamol/Acetaminophen | 650.0 mg |
Codeine is an opioid analgesic, which works by changing how the brain and nervous system respond to pain. Paracetamol is a non-opioid analgesic and antipyretic, primarily reducing pain and fever. The combination of these two ingredients provides a more potent pain-relieving effect than either drug used alone.
