Aspaco 20 Tablets – Pain Relief & Fever Support

Indications:
Aspaco is indicated for the short-term symptomatic treatment of mild to moderate pain of various locations: headache, migraine, toothache, muscle or joint pain or in case of painful menstruation and the treatment of febrile conditions.
This medicine contains codeine. Codeine belongs to a class of medicines called opioid analgesics, which relieve pain through their action. Since Aspaco also contains paracetamol, the administration of other preparations containing paracetamol or codeine is not indicated.

Contraindications:
Do not use ASPACO
- if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to acetylsalicylic acid, paracetamol, codeine or any of the other ingredients of ASPACO.

Precautions:
Before using ASPACO, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Pregnancy, fertility and lactation:
Paracetamol can be administered for a short time during pregnancy, at therapeutic doses, after evaluating the therapeutic benefit to the mother/potential risk to the fetus.
Preclinical studies have demonstrated the teratogenic effect (generator of congenital malformations) of codeine, therefore the drug is contraindicated during pregnancy.
Salicylates and their metabolites are excreted in small quantities in breast milk.
Paracetamol crosses the placenta and is excreted in breast milk at a rate of 1–2% of the administered dose.
Codeine is excreted in breast milk; cases of hypotonia, apnea or respiratory depression have been described in children after ingestion of very high doses of codeine by mothers.
Do not take codeine during breastfeeding. Codeine and morphine pass into breast milk.
Therefore, the administration of this drug is contraindicated during breastfeeding. 

Driving and using machines:
ASPACO has a major influence on the ability to drive or use machines. Therefore, it is contraindicated in people who drive or use machines.
