Headaches, migraine, period pain and the muscle and joint aches of everyday life all fall under this range. It brings together pain relief in tablets, capsules, soluble sachets and topical gels, alongside targeted options for migraine, with choices for adults and children. Most are everyday over-the-counter painkillers to keep on hand for when pain strikes.
The right choice depends on the type of pain and where it is. Paracetamol is gentle on the stomach and suits general aches, while ibuprofen and other anti-inflammatories work well for inflammation-related pain such as muscle and joint strains. Topical gels are rubbed in at the site of the ache and are popular for backs, knees and shoulders. For migraine, some people prefer soluble or combination formats. Always check the label so you do not combine two products containing the same active ingredient. If pain is severe, lasts more than a few days or keeps coming back, it is worth getting it checked rather than relying on over-the-counter products long term.
