Anti-Inflammatory Ibuprofen Gel to the rescue

Advantages: Instant Relief, easy to apply
Disadvantages: none found

I have always been sceptical of these fast relief medical treatments until I actually had no choice but to try one. A knee injury (which later turned out to be torn ligaments and cartiledge) left me in total agony for virtually 24 hours a day. I was in so much pain that I was awake most of the night. I was bought some of this ibuprofen gel by the wife who had had to suffer the sleepless nights with me. With contempt, I rubbed the recommended 10cm ...
...last for about 10 minutes. I was amazed therefore when, almost instantly the gel got to work and started easing the pain in my knee. I was able to get more movement out of the knee, though the pain hadnt gone away completely. By applying the gel every 4 hours or so, I was able to get through the day and night a lot easier. Anybody who thinks that buying this gel will make them pain free will probably be disappointed but it certainly made my life ...

A Solpadeine Addict's Tale and how I got cured

Advantages: Very effective pain relief
Disadvantages: Highly addictive, use with caution

...the habit of taking 6-8 Solpadeine every day of my life, plus Syndol at night for sleep (which also contains codeine). For those unfamiliar with Solpadeine, they are an over the counter pain remedy whose active ingredients per tablet are: 500mg Paracetamol, Codeine Phosphate Hemihydrate 8mg and Caffeine 30mg. I should know, I took them for nearly 25 years, and couldn’t stop. Of course the headaches I kept getting were ‘rebound headaches’, but as ...
...‘normal person’. Indeed, on Solpadeine I was able to go on business trips abroad feeling ill because, in addition to masking pain, Solpadeine gives the body such a lift – but at a price. Of course I wanted to be free of this addiction as it was playing havoc with my stomach and liver, so I went to see several different GPs. I remember one just laughing at me as though all it took to be free was a little will-power. The most common reaction however ...

Review of Solpadeine

Cheap and does the trick.

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Risk of stomach ulcers with long term use

The product is ibuprofen 200mg and you take two tablets to make the dose 400mg. If the pain is really severe you can take 3 tablets and make the dose 600mg. There are more expensive things on the market such as neurofen but you are simply paying for the brand name and it is plain and simple ibuprofen .Ibuprofen is part of a popular class of drugs known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs. NSAIDs work by keeping your body from producing ...

Review of Tesco Ibuprofen

Not getting what you think

Advantages: None,
Disadvantages: Paying for a brand name and not receiving maximum dose.

When you read the label anadin extra, you really think your getting the maximum pain relifef and a relative got these for me as a favour when I was suffering a migraine and could not drive to get to the shop. As a nurse practitioner the first thing I did was look at the ingredients section of the packaging which states - Each tablet contains 300mg of Aspirin, 200mg of Paracetamol and 45mg of Caffeine. 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 ...
