Hedex Extra can provide extra relief from headache including migraine.
They can also relieve backache, rheumatic and muscle pain, toothache, sore throat,
period pain, and relieve the fever, aches and pains of colds and flu.
The tablets contain two active ingredients. Paracetamol is a painkiller and also
reduces your temperature when you have a fever. Caffeine acts to further help the
effectiveness of paracetamol.

• Allergic reactions which may be severe such as skin rash and itching sometimes with swelling of the mouth or face or shortness of breath
• Skin rash or peeling, or mouth ulcers
• Breathing problems. These are more likely if you have experienced them before when taking other painkillers such as ibuprofen and aspirin
