Goodbye pain…hello sleepiness
Review of Syndol Pain Relief by Bollinger28

...as your head. However, Syndol are also effective for the treatment of period pain, neuralgia, toothache, muscular or rheumatic pain, toothache or muscle contractions. Syndol is particularly good at relaxing your muscles and thus easing the pain. The tablets are packaged in a plain blue box with a simple white plastic sleeve containing the pale yellow tablets. The tablets contain four main ingredients, namely paracetamol (used to treat mild/moderate ... Read review

Tight Muscles and Im Not Being Rude
Review of Syndol Pain Relief by bandoo

Advantages: Helps reduce tension headaches and often banishes them
Disadvantages: Can cause drowsiness if you are susceptible

...can make you cry, but Syndol has helped me no end. There are side effects, as there are with any medication. Likewise, these have to be weighed against the benefits and for me there was no argument. I now take atleast 2 a day, sometimes 4 but with the 4 hour gap in between as recommended. I am so resistant to painkillers that I don't suffer the drowsy and woozy effects felt by many after taking this, but I am told that the effects can be quite ... Read review

Rapid relief for headache and migraines
Review of Syndol Pain Relief by MadeinScotland

Advantages: Easy to swallow, really do work, not too expensive and you can get them in nearly every pharmacy
Disadvantages: Can make you a little tired and you need to catch the headache right at the beginning for the best effects.

...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 ... Read review

Syndol, relief from blinding pain
Review of Syndol Pain Relief by cleanfreakmama

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

Use these for tension headaches
Review of Syndol Pain Relief by offy

Advantages: They do relax your neck and shoulders
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 ... Read review

An innovation in migraine relief!
Review of Syndol Pain Relief by rachpoppy

Advantages: Very Effective
Disadvantages: Can be addictive, drowsiness

...also suffers with migraines recommended Syndol tablets to me about a year ago and now I'm never without a box. I find that if I take two syndol at the first sign of an attack within an hour my symptoms have started to fade. If I don't take them soon enough unfortunately my migraine does persist but they do help a little in taking the edge off the pain. They can also be taken for other types of pain such as toothache, period pain, muscular and rheumatic ... Read review

This is good stuff
Review of Syndol Pain Relief by Biondino

Advantages: works on tension headaches
Disadvantages: Not cheap, and leaves you woozy for some time afterwards

Syndol is a last-resort painkiller for when paracetomol and Nurofen just aren't performing. To be fair, Syndol does act in slightly different ways - its primary selling point is that it contains codeine, which has a far better effect on hard-to-shift tension headaches than the regular anti-inflammatories. Syndol is one of the few over-the-counter medicines to have pronounced side effects. The codeine really does feel like a drug - operating heavy ... Read review

Good compound painkiller
Review of Syndol Pain Relief by markedwards

Advantages: Effective
Disadvantages: Costly

I have used Syndol on a couple of occasions and found it to be a good painkiller for general problems. Its made by Hoechst Marion Roussel and retails over the counter for about £1.80 for 10 tablets. It contains paracetamol, caffeine, codeine (an opioid pain killer), doxylamine (an antihistamine, which is probably there to help with sedation). The presence of codeine makes Syndol really a variant of the other paracetomol/codeine compound ... Read review

Quick review of Syndol Pain Relief
Review of Syndol Pain Relief by CCJones

Syndol worked for me! And yes - made me VERY drowsy & everyone knew when I took them from slurred speech & glassy expression in eyes. Worked within 30 mins & made sure I'd not have to drive during the 'active' period! Agree, very addictive - headachy to 'come off them'. For those with neck & shoulder pain prior to migraine - consider acupuncture. I paid for 2 sessions for shoulder pain & afterwards had a pro-longed period without migraines - learnt to adjust posture, no longer carry bags over either shoulder, etc. Only when I forgot these self-imposed rules did they come back. Back to GP for referral this time now that reports prove it useful as preventative management.

Pain free sleep
Review of Syndol Pain Relief by Rosleen

Advantages: Knocks pain on the head and lets you sleep like a baby!
Disadvantages: Could be too powerful for frail or delicate.

Syndol does actually work!! I have tried various over the counter treatments for pain relief etc. and this is the first one which not only took away the pain but also made me feel very sleepy and after a good nights sleep I did feel much better!! My sister is a nurse in a local hospital here in the Highlands of Scotland and they have found that it is very good for arthritis in the elderly who get relief from the pain and a sleep. It possible would ... Read review

Syndol Pain Relief
Review of Syndol Pain Relief by kezza24

Advantages: Relaxes pain
Disadvantages: makes you feel like your in a dream world!

I've just picked up another pack of these to release some tension in my neck and forehead. Only this time round the side effects are worse. Driving into work after taking 2 first thing, was shall we say a little distant and wouldnt reconmend it. They do work though, if you can stick the slightly drugged up feeling. Weird as they never made me feel like this last time I took them. Talking to people on the phone (as I work in call centre) also sounds ... Read review
