Pacofen Causes Insomnia?

Updated

I can't sleep last night after taking pacofen together with clarithromycin tablet (antibiotic) for my prolonged fever. I am suspecting that the caffeine in pacofen is keeping me awake. Is this right? If so, I am going to take pacofen only in day time.

Yes, Caffeine is a stimulant that increases mental alertness and can cause insomnia.

To treat a fever, the caffeine and codeine in this medication really isn't necessary.

What you need to help break a fever is just the Paracetamol.
