Veganin Tablets information

  • What are Veganin Tablets and what are they used for?

    Veganin Tablets provide short-term relief from acute moderate pain. Veganin is usually taken when other painkillers, such as paracetamol, have proven ineffective. These tablets contain the active ingredients Paracetamol 500mg, Codeine Phosphate 8mg and Caffeine 30mg to provide effective short-term (up to 3 days) relief from the following:

    • Period pain
    • Headaches/migraines
    • Backache
    • Toothache
    • Muscular and rheumatic pain
    • Sprains and strains
    • Sciatica

    Veganin tablets are manufactured by Omega Pharma and are available to purchase in boxes of 30 tablets. They are suitable for adults and children over the age of 12 years. If you are finding that Veganin isn't effectively controlling your pain, you should consult your doctor or pharmacist.

    How do Veganin Tablets work?

    Veganin contains paracetamol, which is used to relieve mild to moderate pain and fever. It is believed to work by reducing the production of pain-triggering chemical prostaglandins. Prostaglandins sensitise nerve endings, which in turn causes the pain sensation. By reducing their production, paracetamol is thought to increase our pain threshold. So even though the cause of the pain is still there, it is no longer felt as much.

    Veganin also contains codeine, which is a slightly stronger painkilling medicine called an opioid. Opioids work by mimicking the actions of endorphins, which is the body's natural pain-relieving chemical. Codeine works on the same opioid receptors as endorphins. This action blocks the transmission of pain signals being sent from the nerves to the brain. This results in less pain being felt.

    Veganin also contains caffeine, which acts as a weak stimulant that can enhance the pain-relieving effects of paracetamol. It can also work to counteract the drowsiness that can be caused by codeine.

    Veganin Tablets and paracetamol

    Do not take Veganin with any other product that contains paracetamol. Most over-the-counter painkillers and cough/cold remedies contain paracetamol. It is important to check the ingredients of any medicines you buy before taking them with Veganin. Alternatively, ask your pharmacist for advice.

  • Veganin tablets contain Paracetamol 500mg, Codeine phosphate 8mg, and caffeine 30 mg per tablet. Paracetamol is an pain killer, that when combined with codeine, can offer significant pain relief for conditions such as headache & migraine, dental pain, rheumatic & muscular pain, period pain, and neuralgia. Caffeine helps to give you a lift if you are feeling down or ill and may help to speed up the absorption of the other active ingredients.
