Solpadeine Migraine provide relief of rheumatic pain, headache, migraine, neuralgia, toothache, sore throat, period pain, feverishness and the symptoms of colds and influenza. 

It is especially effective for headaches, given the ibuprofen ingredient.

Solpadeine Migraine (ibuprofen, codeine) is a potent pain-relief medication which can be used to treat any mild to moderate short-term pain. It is suitable for use in patients 12 years old and up.

Each Solpadeine Migraine tablet contains 200 mg ibuprofen and 12.8 mg codeine. When taken together, the pain-relieving properties of ibuprofen and codeine---both effective painkillers in their own right---are more powerful than either ingredient would be if used alone.

Though this product's name suggests it should be used for migraines, it is effective at treating pain from many other sources, including:

• Muscle aches or sprains
• Arthritis
• Menstrual cramps
• Headaches, including migraines
• Toothache
• Back pain
• Other mild to moderate pain

Another advantage of using this combination medication is the anti-inflammatory properties of ibuprofen, which will help further reduce pain and other symptoms in inflammatory conditions such as arthritis.

Getting the Most from Solpadeine Migraine

Solpadeine Migraine is easy to use; tablets are taken as-needed, ideally at the earliest symptoms of pain. Taking tablets with food is preferred as doing so significantly reduces the occurrence of gastrointestinal side effects.

Administration is the same in all patients aged 12 and up:

• Take 1 or 2 tablets as needed for pain
• Repeat every 4 to 6 hours if needed
• Do not exceed 6 tablets in 24 hours

Most patients start to feel some pain relief within 15 to 30 minutes of taking tablets. Effects should be very pronounced after 1 hour, and last 4 to 6 hours---sometimes longer. There can be a significant difference between individuals in how codeine is metabolized; a small percentage may find this medication provides little pain relief, while others may find it very powerful. For the majority, however, Solpadeine Migraine simply alleviates pain with minimal side effects.

The medication should be used as-needed, ideally for no more than three consecutive days. Continuous use of this product can lead to several problems, including increased risk of side effects from both codeine and ibuprofen, as well as increased likelihood of developing tolerance to codeine. Tolerance can often be avoided by alternating between codeine products and those which do not contain codeine.

Solpadeine Migraine is sometimes taken over longer periods of time, but this should only be done with doctor approval and regular checkups should be scheduled to monitor for any developing side effects.

Before Using Solpadeine Migraine

Like most medications, Solpadeine Migraine does carry some risk of side effects---some of which can be quite serious. As a combined medication, side effects of both active ingredients need to be taken into consideration.

This product should be used with caution in patients who have a history of:

• Decreased lung function
• Kidney or liver disease
• Heart problems
• High blood pressure
• Intestinal disorders
• Ulcers or intestinal bleeding
• Seizures
• Irregular heartbeat
• Difficulty urinating

Solpadeine Migraine should not be used at all in patients who:

• Are under 12 years of age
• Have a head injury
• Have heart, liver or kidney failure
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have an active ulcer
• Are having difficulty breathing
• Have recently had surgery

Side effects, though rare and typically mild if the medication is used properly, include:

• Constipation
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Dry mouth
• Dizziness
• Drowsiness
• Sweating
• Itching
• Difficulty passing urine

If the above symptoms become severe, seek medical attention. As mentioned above, taking tablets with food may ease symptoms of nausea, vomiting and other gastrointestinal side effects. Use caution performing complex or dangerous tasks while taking Solpadeine Migraine as it may cause dizziness, drowsiness and delayed reactions.

Note that some areas have laws regarding the purchase, transportation, possession and use of codeine. Clients are responsible for understanding and complying with any local regulations regarding this product.
