You might find there's also caffeine in Solpadol. It's not a brand that I'm aware of though. Both are the same in terms of content - 30 mg codeine and 500mg paracetamol - but the price for a brand will be more expensive than the store's own brand of co-codamol.

The caplets will definitely work faster, and you will find they be more expensive than ordinary Co-codamol 30/500. The solpadol also contain caffeine, personally i'd got for the co-codamol, but take them with or after food, they tend to make you nauseous.

Its a case of liquid being absorbed into the system quicker. When it comes to brand names they tend to be way cheaper. I would look at the product list. If the ingredient and amount is more or less the same then I would go for the generic why pay sometimes 4 times more for an active ingredient that is the same.
