Could I Take The Apap/codine 300mg/30mg To Lower Fever And Help With Body Aches?
I have chest conjestion and I am running a fever, body chills, and body aches. I don t have any Tylenol or ibuprofen to reduce my fever but I do have apap/codine that I got when I had a tooth pulled. Could I take the apap/codine 300mg/30mg to lower my fever and help with body aches?

Hello!
Thank you for the query.
This medicine contains only 300 mg of paracetamol. To lower a fever it might be to low dosage. If you really do not have any other possibility (like buying paracetamol in the market or pharmacy), than it is acceptable to take two tablets of this medicines. But do not continue such treatment.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
