How long will it take to work? Your pain should start to improve 1 or 2 hours after taking nefopam.nhs.uk › medicines › nefopam

How soon you get relief could vary from person to person, this is general information. Speak to your GP before increasing the dose yourself. You may be prescribed an alternative.

Taking nefopam with other painkillers

You can take nefopam with painkillers such as paracetamol and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), like ibuprofen or naproxen.

Some painkillers, like codeine, have similar side effects to nefopam. This means you may get more side effects if you take them together.

Speak to your doctor or pharmacist before taking any painkillers along with nefopam.
