    4 Stars Goodbye pain…hello sleepiness Review with images 13/10/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Quick and effective in dealing with migraine and tension headaches.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Make you incredibly drowsy. Codeine based medication so can become habit forming.

    Once a month I find myself suffering from a rather nasty migraine headache. Sometimes I'm lucky, and it only lasts for 24 hours. Other times it can be an unwelcome invader of my head for up to 72 hours. I used to be able to keep the pain in abeyance with Migraleve Complete, but in the last six months or so, they haven't been as effective for me as they used to be. Maybe my body has become slightly immune to the benefits of this medication, but it just doesn't have the same effect on lessening my pain anymore. I therefore popped into my local Lloyds pharmacy and had a word with the pharmacist ... more

    5 Stars Tight Muscles and Im Not Being Rude 01/02/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Helps reduce tension headaches and often banishes them

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can cause drowsiness if you are susceptible

    Have you ever experienced tightening of the muscles - in the neck and shoulder region I mean ? Has this been followed by a headache ? Well to a veteran headache sufferer such as myself, this is known as a tension headache. I suffer from a condition known as Scoliosis which few people will have heard of. This basically means that I have an unusual form of spine curvature that causes my spine to curve out to the right rather than follow a straight line from top to bottom. With this condition the muscles that are attached to the spine are being overstretched on one side and compressed on the ... more

    1 Star Syndol versus cheapo paracetamol? 21/02/2013
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Erm......

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Didn't work for me and my stubborn headache/migraine

    For three days solid I had a headache.....well at least I thought it was a headache! I took paracetamols regularly but still....it just wouldn't budge for love nor money. For once it wasn't a hangover and I knew I hadn't bashed my head or anything like that so when I spotted these in my local chemist they were the last resort of something to take and seeing the words 'Tension Headache' emblazoned on the front of the box sold me on them because to my mind that's what I had as I have had a few rather stressful days recently. The Packaging: The tablets come in a dark and light blue box and on the ... more

    4 Stars Anything for relief 20/02/2013
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Gave me relief, easy shape to swallow

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Took a while to work

    Before Christmas I had a really bad cold which I honestly think was bordering on flu, when I came to the end of the illness I had a headache that I was able to shift no matter what I tried and these tablets were recommended to me by a colleague who had also suffered the same illness. That very break time I went to Asda desperate for anything that may help to lift the headache and bought a packet, a box of 30 tablets cost me just under £5 so as pain relief tablets go they certainly are not the cheapest. The tablets came in a cardboard box and it is quite a striking box as far as tablets go with ... more

    5 Stars If I jump up and down I will rattle! 10/03/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Quick pain relief, easy to swallow

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can cause drowiness, can give you an upset stomach

    I suffer from migraines and most over the counter tablets don't even hit the spot which is why I normally get my prescription of co-codamol from the doctors, or the next best thing Syndol! **ABOUT SYNDOL** Syndol is a "Locally Owned Brand" and is part of the SSL Group of companies with a licence from Aventis Pharma Limited. SSL International plc was created as a result of two back-to-back mergers: Seton Healthcare plc and Scholl plc in July 1998 forming Seton Scholl Healthcare plc; and London International Group plc in May 1999. They also now own Durex (formerly the London Rubber Company) ... more

    5 Stars Syndol 31/07/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fast acting and effective

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can make you sleepy

    The other day at work I developed a thumping headache and after rummaging through my desk and handbag realised I hadn't got any painkillers. Thinking I would have to pop out and get some my colleague came to my rescue and gave me two Syndol tablets. Although I had never taken these before I had heard of them. The tablets come in a shiny blue and red box with Syndol written across it in large white letters. It has the words "fast relief from tension headache" written underneath. They cost about £3.80 for a box of 20 tablets. There is an information leaflet inside the box giving more details ... more

    5 Stars Rapid relief for headache and migraines 01/11/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy to swallow, really do work, not too expensive and you can get them in nearly every pharmacy

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can make you a little tired and you need to catch the headache right at the beginning for the best effects.

    I suffer from migraines and headaches frequently and I must say that I have tried just about EVERYTHING. But when I came across Syndol and first used them I knew that my prayers were answered (well I still get migraines but now I know I have the cure!) Boots do make a cheaper alternative to Syndol called 'Boots tension headache tablets' and they come in a blue and silver box, Syndol comes in a red and blue and silver box. They both have exactly the same ingredients. I find that they both work as well but I have found that nowadays only the big Boots stores actually stock their own brand. These ... more

    5 Stars Syndol, relief from blinding pain 14/06/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages fast working, they do work, can cure some migraines

    Disadvantages Disadvantages a bit pricey, leaves you slight hungover

    I did feel slightly dopey and sleepy but nothing major and that could be put down to the fact I never get enough sleep! I took them 6 hourly that day and headache was completely gone when I got up to do nightshift with Sam later that night. I have used them several times since and again they have cured the headaches quite well, only once they didn’t do the job so being me I thought right I’ll take 3 then, god I was so off my face my husband was present and thought it hysterically funny that I couldn’t put a sentence together and completely monged out if you didn’t speak to me for longer than ... more

    4 Stars Use these for tension headaches 21/01/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages They do relax your neck and shoulders

    Disadvantages Disadvantages There are side effects and the Boots equivalent work better

    I was offered these tablets by the pharmacist when I couldn't get to Boots to buy my normal tension headache tablets (Boots own tension headache tablets). I have found them reasonable in removing tension headaches, but unfortunately not as good as the Boots' equivalent. The difference between tension headaches and normal ones for me is that it affects your neck and shoulders too, in fact it frequently starts from here and works its way up your head. If you get severe headaches on one side of the head, sometimes accompanied by visual disturbances and nausea, then it is likely you are suffering ... more
