Can you take codeine and paracetamol together?

Yes. Paracetamol and codeine are a very good combination for pain killing. The recommended safe dosage is 1 to 2 paracetamol (500mg tablets) + 1 to 2 codeine (30mg tablets) every four hours.

If ibuprofen is taken in combination, it may cause nausea, so it is best to be avoided.
