Syndol Headache Relief Tablets 30 Tablets

 

Syndol headache relief tablets contains:

  • paracetamol which is a pain reliever (analgesic) and helps reduce your temperature when you have a fever
  • codeine phosphate which is a pain reliever (analgesic)
  • caffeine which helps to increase the pain relief from paracetamol and makes you more alert.

What this medicine is and what it is used for: for the relief of mild to moderate pain

These tablets are for the short term treatment of acute moderate pain which is not relieved by paracetamol, ibuprofen or aspirin alone. This medicine is for the relief of migraine, headache, rheumatic pain, period pain, toothache and nerve pain.

2. What you need to know before you take this medicine

This medicine contains codeine which can cause addiction if you take it continuously for more than three days. This can give you withdrawal symptoms from the medicine when you stop taking it.

If you take a painkiller for headaches for more than three days it can make them worse.

  • are allergic to paracetamol, codeine, caffeine or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6)
  • have acute asthma
