Take 2 tablets with a drink of water. Repeat ...
...2 tablets you would recieve 600mg of Aspirin, 400mg of Paracetamol and 90mg of Caffeine and feel you had received "anadin extra". Yet you can take 900mg of aspirin and 1g of paracetamol as standard so you are not receiving what is the normal standard dose. So is it any wonder I still had the migraine after a couple of hours. You are paying for a brand name. What I would recommend is a packet of paracetamol for 36p and a packet of aspirin for the ...

Fortunately, I no longer have to suffer the monthly torment of period pains and have not had a toothache for many years so I cannot comment ...
