About Migraleve
Migraleve is a well-known brand for the relief of migraine and its symptoms. It uses a two-part system to tackle both the pain and the nausea that can come with a migraine attack.
Migraleve Pink tablets, taken at the first sign of a migraine, combine paracetamol and codeine for pain with buclizine to help with nausea, while Migraleve Yellow tablets (paracetamol and codeine) continue the pain relief.
Browse the Migraleve range below, dispatched from our UK pharmacy. Migraleve contains codeine, so it is for short-term use only (no more than three days); always read the label and speak to your pharmacist for advice.
Frequently asked questions
How do you take Migraleve?
The system usually starts with Migraleve Pink tablets at the first sign of a migraine, followed by Yellow tablets every few hours if needed, without going over the daily maximum. Always follow the instructions on the pack.
How many Migraleve Pink can you take?
Follow the pack - typically two Pink tablets are taken at the onset of a migraine, with a stated maximum in 24 hours. Do not exceed the maximum, as Migraleve contains both paracetamol and codeine.
Can you take ibuprofen with Migraleve?
Ibuprofen is a different type of medicine and can sometimes be taken with Migraleve, but because Migraleve contains codeine and paracetamol it is best to check with a pharmacist first. Do not add any extra paracetamol.
What is in Migraleve?
Migraleve Pink contains paracetamol, codeine and buclizine (an antihistamine that helps with the nausea of migraine), while Migraleve Yellow contains paracetamol and codeine. Because both contain codeine, they are for short-term use only.
Can you take Yellow Migraleve without Pink?
The Yellow tablets are designed to continue relief after the Pink, but they can be used for migraine pain by following the pack guidance. Ask your pharmacist if you are unsure which to use.
Can you take Migraleve with paracetamol?
No - Migraleve already contains paracetamol, so taking extra paracetamol on top risks a dangerous overdose. Do not combine them.
Can you take Migraleve when pregnant?
Migraleve contains codeine, which is generally not recommended in pregnancy, particularly close to delivery. Speak to your midwife, pharmacist or GP about suitable migraine relief while you are pregnant.
