The only drug I can find which is close to what you have put (which like someone else I could not find any reference to) is SOLPODOL.
Solpodol is a combination of 2 medicines in a disolvable tablet. The first med is paracetamol, widely available over the counter and pretty safe if taken to instructions. The second med that solpodol contains is Codeine, an opioid which is only available on prescrition.
There is a lot of info at the link below giving a list of side effects and conditions in which the drug should not be used.
As others have said a person should not take meds prescribed for someone else.

I'm afraid I don't know the drug solhodol, and I can't find a reference to it on the internet, but I agree 100% with Vonn. Drugs prescribed for one person should not be taken by another. There are inherent dangers in this. For instance, what appears to be the same condition might be something else totally different. Apart from that, the person who wishes to take the medication may have something else, long-standing, that contraindicates against the use of them.

You should never take medicine that hasn`t been prescribed for you ,especially if you have already had a heart attack ,I have to go to the chemist to ask if the simplest medicine is safe to take and sometimes am amazed at what I can`t take ,tell this person to think before they take any medicine not prescribed by GP

No matter what make of tablets they are you should NEVER take other peoples medication. What helps one person may not have the same effect for another. Tell the person who is taking them to go to their own Dr if he/she needs these tablets he/she will be given them.
You can also check any tablets out at your local Pharmacy/Chemist, where they will be glad to answer your questions.

Do you mean sotalol or solpadol? The drug you named doesn't exist.
