The maximum dose is 8 co-codamol tablets in 24 hours. It's important to leave a gap between doses of co-codamol. Taking too much co-codamol can be very dangerous.

Paracetamol is safe to take in pregnancy, however codeine can affect your baby, particularly towards the end of pregnancy.
Your baby may get used to having codeine and may have withdrawal symptoms when they're born. There is a slightly higher risk of your baby having breathing problems. These are usually temporary, but your baby may need extra monitoring. For these reasons, co-codamol is not generally recommended. However, if you have pain that requires stronger pain relief than paracetamol, talk to your doctor.
They might prescribe co-codamol if they think this is the best option for you. Small amounts of the codeine in co-codamol get into breast milk and can cause breathing problems in your baby. If you are taking co-codamol and want to breastfeed, discuss this with your doctor first.
