Solpadeine is powerful range of painkillers produced by Glaxo Smith Kline containing differing active ingredients, as listed below: Solpadeine Headache contains paracetamol, caffeine. Solpadeine Max contains paracetamol, codeine. Solpadeine Plus contains paracetamol, codeine, caffeine. I personally have only ever used Solpadeine Plus, so this review will relate specifically to that product. It is available in three different formats: soluble, tablet and capsule. I always use the soluble product, as it is the fastest acting of all the products. Many people are discouraged from using the soluble version, as it “tastes bad”. after using ...  Read the complete review

I only came across Solpadeine about a year ago, when my husband's dentist recommended it to him after a wisdom tooth extraction.

Solpadeine is available not just in tablet form but as a soluble tablet, and i usually keep a good stock in. I hate swallowing tablets, so the soluble ones are great, if you suffer regular with migraine i find they work brilliantly. I do however disagree with the advertising campaign where people are stating that they have been using them for years as it makes them seem like addicts. Solpadeine like any other painkiller can be addictive so should be used wisely and only taken when needed. They are very effective but as is always true regular headaches should be checked out with your doctor just in case. ...  Read the complete review
