Does solpadeine slow down your emm digestive tranisit!?
If you’re taking solpadeine regularly (ie 4 times a day for a few days or longer), even though it doesn’t have a massive amount of codeine in it, it’s extremely likely to cause constipation. It’s not the paracetamol that affects your digestive system, it’s just the codeine that slows your system down. If you’re only taking it occassionally (ie 2 tablets from time to time if you have a headache) it shouldn’t be a problem, though. So if you are have to take it regularly, best to up your fibre intake, eat plenty of fruit/veg, drink plenty of water and consider taking laxatives if required.
