Description

What is Midrid?

Midrid capsules are a pain relief medication that helps to ease pain caused by migraines or throbbing headaches. They can be used the moment a migraine strikes, helping you to manage your pain until the migraine has passed.

What is a migraine?

A migraine is a throbbing headache that occurs in one side of your head, which can also be accompanied by other uncomfortable symptoms. Before you have a migraine, you might experience a migraine aura – warning symptoms that tell you that you are about to get a migraine. Some of the other symptoms that you might experience with a migraine or migraine aura include:

Nausea
Vomiting
Struggling to concentrate
Sensitivity to light or sound
Sweating
Feeling too hot or cold
Stomach pain
Diarrhoea
Visual problems, e.g. blind spots, seeing zig-zags or flashing lights
Feeling dizzy
Difficulty speaking

How can Midrid ease my migraines?

Midrid contains the active ingredients paracetamol and isometheptene, which work together to ease the pain caused by migraines. Paracetamol is a popular painkiller that eases pain while also helping to reduce high temperatures. Isometheptene helps to return swollen blood vessels to normal after they become swollen during a migraine, reducing the throbbing pain that you experience with a migraine.

Uses / Instructions

Take 2 Midrid capsules as soon as you notice signs that you are getting a migraine.
If you still have your migraine an hour later, take another capsule.
Keep taking one additional capsule every hour until your migraine has cleared.
Do not take more than 5 capsules in any 12 hours.
If you still have your migraine after 12 hours, you can take one more course of treatment, beginning again with 2 capsules and taking one capsule every hour up to a maximum of 5 capsules.
