1 WHAT MIGRALEVE® IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
MIGRALEVE® is a medicine which is used for the treatment of migraine
attacks, including the symptoms
of migraine headache, nausea and vomiting.
There are two types of MIGRALEVE® tablet available:
■
MIGRALEVE® Pink tablets
■
MIGRALEVE® Yellow tablets
They are available separately or together in one pack.
MIGRALEVE® PINK tablets contain paracetamol and codeine which eases
pain and buclizine which helps
relieve nausea and vomiting. The Pink tablets therefore treat all the
symptoms of migraine. If taken at the
first sign of a migraine, MIGRALEVE® Pink tablets can prevent an
attack from developing.
MIGRALEVE® YELLOW tablets contain paracetamol and codeine for the
treatment of pain and relief of
continuing migraine symptoms. They should always be taken after the
first dose of MIGRALEVE® Pink
tablets.
MIGRALEVE® can be used in children over 12 years of age for the short
term relief of moderate pain not
relieved by other pain killers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen alone.
MIGRALEVE® contains codeine.
