NO NO NO read the packets- co codamol is paracetamol and codeine so if you take both you could very easily overdose and cause irreversible liver damage.

Paracetamol is very safe at normal dosage but if you read any packet of painkillers or cold remedy they always have in big letters this product contains paracetamol to stop you taking two producst with paracetamol in them.
