Pain can stem from many causes—such as headaches, muscle strain, menstrual cramps, dental issues, arthritis, or recovery from surgery. It may be localised or widespread, short-term or persistent.
Over-the-counter painkillers such as Paracetamol and Ibuprofen are commonly used for mild to moderate pain. Paracetamol works by blocking pain signals in the brain, while Ibuprofen reduces inflammation that contributes to pain.
For stronger relief, combination medicines like Co-codamol (Paracetamol with Codeine) or anti-inflammatory options like Naproxen may be prescribed. A UK prescriber will assess your symptoms and health history to determine the safest and most effective option for your needs.
Paracetamol and Ibuprofen are usually taken every 4–6 hours as needed. Co-codamol and Naproxen are often reserved for more significant pain or when inflammation is a contributing factor. These should always be used as directed due to risks of side effects or dependence.
In addition to medication, non-drug approaches like rest, heat/cold packs, gentle movement, or physiotherapy can help manage symptoms, particularly in musculoskeletal pain.
Ordering pain relief treatment online is simple. Choose your preferred option, complete a short online consultation, and a licensed UK prescriber will assess your request. If suitable, your treatment will be delivered discreetly and quickly.
