Migraleve Pink Tablets

Migraleve Pink is a specialist, triple-action medication used to treat migraine symptoms. It is a combination treatment containing two painkillers (Paracetamol and Codeine) and an antihistamine (Buclizine) which specifically targets the feeling of sickness.

The medication works through three active ingredients:

• Paracetamol & Codeine: These work together to block pain signals in the brain, providing stronger relief than standard paracetamol alone.
• Buclizine: An antihistamine with anti-emetic properties that reduces nausea and prevents vomiting by calming the body's histamine response during an attack.

• Timing: For best results, take the tablets at the very first sign of a migraine starting.
• Adults (16+): Take two tablets with a glass of water. Do not exceed two tablets in a 24-hour period.
• Children (12–15 years): Take one tablet with a glass of water. Do not exceed one tablet in a 24-hour period.
• Duration: Do not take this medication for more than three consecutive days, as it contains codeine which can be addictive.

Common side effects may include:

• Drowsiness or dizziness
• Constipation
• Dry mouth
• Feeling sick (nausea) or being sick
• Flushing of the face

If you experience a severe allergic reaction (such as swelling of the face or difficulty breathing) or skin rashes, seek emergency medical attention immediately.

• Addiction Risk: This medicine contains codeine. Taking it for more than three days can lead to addiction and withdrawal symptoms.
• Alcohol: Avoid drinking alcohol while taking Migraleve Pink, as it can increase the risk of drowsiness.
• Driving: This medication may cause dizziness or sleepiness. Do not drive or operate machinery until you know how it affects you.
• Other Medications: Do not take any other products containing paracetamol while using Migraleve.
• Breastfeeding: Do not take this medication if you are breastfeeding, as codeine passes into breast milk.

Q: Why is it called "Migraleve Pink"? The "Pink" tablets are the first-stage treatment containing the anti-nausea ingredient (Buclizine). Many patients find that the Pink tablets alone are enough to stop the attack.

Q: Can I take Migraleve Pink with other Paracetamol products? No. Migraleve Pink already contains a full 500mg dose of paracetamol per tablet. Taking additional paracetamol products could lead to a dangerous overdose.

Q: Will Migraleve Pink make me sleepy? It may. The antihistamine (Buclizine) and Codeine can both cause drowsiness. You should not drive or operate machinery until you know how the medication affects you.

Q: Can I use this if I am pregnant or breastfeeding? No. Codeine is not recommended during pregnancy unless specifically directed by a doctor, and it must be avoided entirely while breastfeeding as it passes into breast milk.
