Geralgine K 500 mg Paracetamol Caffeine Codeine Tablet for Moderate Pain

Geralgine K tablets combine three active ingredients to provide enhanced pain relief.

Paracetamol acts as an analgesic and antipyretic to reduce pain and fever.
Caffeine enhances the analgesic effect of paracetamol and helps improve alertness.
Codeine phosphate is a mild opioid analgesic that works centrally to relieve moderate pain.

This triple combination is commonly used for headaches, migraine, dental pain, musculoskeletal pain, and other moderate painful conditions that do not respond adequately to non opioid analgesics alone.

Due to the presence of codeine, this medicine should be used strictly under medical supervision and for short term treatment.

Composition and Formulation

Each tablet contains:

• Paracetamol 500 mg
• Caffeine 30 mg
• Codeine Phosphate 10 mg

Dosage Form: Tablet
Route: Oral administration

Mechanism of Action

Paracetamol reduces pain by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis in the central nervous system.

Caffeine enhances analgesic activity and increases absorption of pain relievers.

Codeine binds to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, reducing pain perception.

Together, these ingredients provide synergistic pain relief.
