Dolmen 25mg – 10 Effervescent Tablets for Mild to Moderate Pain Relief

What is Dolmen 25mg? Aspirin, Codeine and Vitamin C Effervescent Pain Relief Tablets

Dolmen 25mg effervescent tablets combine three active ingredients — acetylsalicylic acid, codeine phosphate, and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) — to provide symptomatic relief from occasional light to moderate pain. Each tablet is round, white, and presented in a convenient aluminium tube of 10 tablets. Acetylsalicylic acid belongs to the analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory non-steroidal group of medicines. Codeine phosphate is a mild opiate that enhances pain relief, and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) supports the formulation.

Before Taking Dolmen

Do not use Dolmen if you:

• Have a history of gastric ulcers or repeated duodenal or gastric discomfort
• Have experienced asthmatic reactions (e.g. difficulty breathing, wheezing, bronchospasms) or allergies to anti-inflammatories, acetylsalicylic acid, analgesics, or the colorant tartrazine
• Are allergic to codeine phosphate, ascorbic acid, or any other component
• Have asthma, rhinitis, or urticaria — consult your healthcare provider first
• Have haemophilia or other blood coagulation problems that increase the risk of internal haemorrhage
• Are currently undergoing treatment with oral anticoagulants
• Have kidney and/or liver problems (renal and/or hepatic insufficiency)
• Have renal stone fragmentation accompanied by oxaluria or aciduria, or normal urinary pH
• Have haematic alterations such as glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, haemochromatosis, sideroblastic anaemia, or thalassaemia
• Have respiratory insufficiency
• Are under 16 years of age — acetylsalicylic acid has been associated with Reye’s Syndrome, a rare but serious illness
• Have bile disorders
• Are in the third trimester of pregnancy

Take Special Care If You

• Have reduced kidney, heart, or liver function, cranial injuries, hyperthyroidism, prostatic hypertrophy, suprarenal insufficiency, or blood clotting disorders
• Have a history of rhinitis, hives, gallstones, or gout
• Are diabetic — Dolmen contains ascorbic acid, which may affect urine glucose test results using reactive strips
• Have high intracranial pressure or have experienced cranial trauma — Dolmen can increase cerebrospinal fluid pressure
• Need to continue treatment beyond 10 days — consult your doctor
• Regularly consume alcohol (three or more drinks per day) — risk of liver damage and digestive haemorrhage
• Are undergoing blood, urine, or other diagnostic tests — Dolmen may alter results
• Are scheduled for surgical interventions — inform your doctor or dentist beforehand
• Have a tendency towards addiction or substance abuse — prolonged use of Dolmen, which contains codeine, can lead to dependence
• Should not administer Dolmen systematically for preventing possible discomfort caused by vaccines

Taking with Food and Drink

To minimise the risk of stomach haemorrhage, take Dolmen after meals or with food. If you regularly consume alcohol (three or more drinks per day, including beer, wine, or spirits), exercise caution, as this may increase the risk of stomach bleeding.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Dolmen must not be taken during the third trimester of pregnancy. Use during the first and second trimesters can be dangerous for the foetus or embryo and must be closely monitored by a healthcare professional. Dolmen must not be administered whilst breastfeeding, as it is excreted in breast milk.

Driving and Using Machines

Dolmen may cause drowsiness — exercise caution when driving, operating machinery, or engaging in activities that require concentration.

Dolmen Dosage

For adults and individuals over 16 years, dissolve one effervescent tablet in half a glass of water and wait for the tablet to fully dissolve before drinking. Take every 4–6 hours, up to a maximum of eight tablets per day. Take after meals or with food. Discontinue use if pain persists for more than 10 days, fever lasts more than three days, or symptoms worsen or new ones appear.
