Pain Relief

For everyday aches, headaches, period pain and fever, paracetamol or ibuprofen is usually the place to start. Gels can help with muscle and joint pain without taking a tablet. Pharmacy medicines, such as painkillers containing codeine and migraine tablets, need a short health questionnaire that a pharmacist checks before we send them.

Painkillers containing codeine can be addictive and should only be used for up to 3 days at a time, so we limit them to one pack per order. If your pain is severe, lasts more than a few days or keeps coming back, speak to a pharmacist or your GP.
