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.
