Product overview

About Anadin Original

The 1932 formula, still on the shelf for a reason: aspirin with a caffeine boost, for headaches, aches and pains handled the classic way. No paracetamol in this one — which is exactly why some people keep it. 16 caplets, ages 16+.

Where Original fits today

Being paracetamol-free makes it combinable: those already using paracetamol elsewhere — in a cold remedy, on a schedule — can still treat a headache without breaching the paracetamol count, provided no other NSAID is in play. Aspirin's anti-inflammatory action also suits pain with swelling.

How to take

Adults and children 16+: per the pack, with water, after food. Never alongside other aspirin or ibuprofen products.

Good to know

Aspirin's rules in full: not under 16, not with ulcers or aspirin-sensitive asthma, care with anticoagulants. If you're regularly choosing between painkiller aisles, our pharmacist can map what combines with what.
