Product overview

About Anadin Extra (12 caplets)

Triple action against the stubborn headache: aspirin and paracetamol attacking pain by two different routes, and caffeine boosting them both. The pocket 12-pack of the formula generations have trusted for headaches and migraines. Ages 16+.

Why two painkillers beat one here

Aspirin works on inflammation at the site of pain; paracetamol works centrally on pain signalling. Hitting both pathways — with caffeine speeding absorption — is why the combination has held its place for the headaches that shrug off a single-ingredient tablet.

How to take

Adults and children 16+: follow the pack dosing with water, preferably after food. Count the paracetamol — nothing else containing it alongside.

Good to know

Aspirin's rules are strict: never under 16, not with stomach ulcers or aspirin-sensitive asthma, and check first if you take anticoagulants. Frequent headaches needing frequent tablets deserve a GP conversation about the pattern.
