Zapain is paracetamol and codeine, usually well tolerated if taken as prescribed, if you are having any adverse effects seek medical help asap. Do let us know how you are xxx

I take only nurofen for pain not sure to take zapain little bit confused 😥

I'm not a medic but I can tell you that when needed I have taken both Zapain and neurofen on advice from GP. I would suggest you seek further advice from your own GP as they will know your circumstances. I fully understand your caution with meds but do please speak with your doctor. In fact when it comes to new meds I can assure you I read side effects and wait anxiously to get every one, I don't of course, just saying so you don't feel alone with any of this. I hope you feel more settled soon. Lou xxx

Hi Jafii

Welcome to the forum and it is wonderful to make your acquaintance. I have pasted you a link to our mother site FMA UK which hosts loads of useful Fibro information: fmauk.org/

I am so genuinely sorry to read that you are suffering with your back and I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck. If you ever have doubts about medication it is always best to ring your GP surgery or your Pharmacist and get the facts from them. Please take care of yourself.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Hello Jafii,,,,,the Zapain is likely to be co-codamol 30mg of codeine and 500mg of Paracetamol which taken in the 2 tablets are good for pain. Try to relax with the tablets and give them time to work,,,,,I understand you are worried and previous meds have given you side effects,,,,the ingredients are different are totally different in these tablets,,,
