General medicine ingredient glossary
1 . PARACETAMOL
A common medicine ingredient used to reduce fever and relieve pain, such as headache, toothache, body pain, and cold-related aches. It is usually safe when taken in the correct dose, but taking too much can harm the liver.
2 . CODEINE PHOSPHATE
Codeine is a mild pain-relieving medicine that works in the brain and nervous system. In the body, some codeine changes into morphine, which helps reduce pain. It may be used with medicines like paracetamol for short-term pain relief. It can also help reduce dry cough by calming the cough centre in the brain.
3 . MEPROBAMATE
Meprobamate is a medicine that can help calm the body and mind. It has sedative effects and may also help relax tense muscles. It is used for a short time to treat anxiety, muscle tension, and related conditions. Its muscle-relaxing effect is mainly due to its calming action.
