Hedex Extra 16 Tablets – Headache & Migraine Relief

Hedex Extra provides fast, effective relief from a range of pain types, using a powerful combination of paracetamol and caffeine. Each tablet is formulated to quickly reduce pain from headaches, migraines, backaches, muscle pain, toothaches, period pain, and common aches associated with colds and flu. Its dual-action formula makes Hedex Extra an ideal option for those seeking swift and reliable pain relief.

How Hedex Extra Works
Hedex Extra leverages two key ingredients for enhanced pain relief:

Paracetamol (500 mg): Known for its pain-relieving and fever-reducing properties, paracetamol works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals that transmit pain signals.
Caffeine (65 mg): Caffeine enhances the effectiveness of paracetamol, allowing it to work faster and target pain more efficiently.

This combination allows Hedex Extra to provide strong, rapid relief for even stubborn headaches and other sources of discomfort.

How to Use Hedex Extra
For safe and effective use, follow these dosage instructions:

Adults and Children (16+): Take 2 tablets every 4-6 hours as required, with water. Do not exceed 8 tablets in 24 hours.
Children (12-15 years): Take 1 tablet every 4-6 hours as needed, up to 4 tablets in 24 hours.

Important: Do not take more than one dose within 4 hours, and avoid taking any other paracetamol-containing medication concurrently.

Precautions & Warnings

Not suitable for children under 12 years of age.
Avoid if allergic to paracetamol, caffeine, or any other ingredient.
Consult your doctor if you have a history of liver or kidney issues or are managing high caffeine intake from other sources.
In case of overdose, seek immediate medical advice due to the risk of delayed liver damage associated with excess paracetamol intake.

Possible Side Effects
Hedex Extra is generally well-tolerated, but some may experience side effects. Discontinue use and seek medical advice if you experience any of the following:

Allergic reactions such as skin rash, itching, swelling, difficulty breathing, or facial swelling.
Symptoms like unexpected bruising, yellowing of the skin or eyes, which may signal a liver reaction.

It’s important to review the complete Patient Information Leaflet and consult your doctor if you have any concerns regarding its use.
