Anadin Extra Caplets
Each tablet contains: 300 mg of Aspirin, 200 mg of Paracetamol and 45 mg of Caffeine.
Aspirin and paracetamol work by relieving pain and reducing high temperature and fever. Aspirin
belongs to a group of medicines called Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) and has
anti-inflammatory properties. In addition, your medicine contains caffeine, which increases the
pain-relieving effect of the product.
Your medicine is for effective relief from: mild to moderate pain including headache, migraine, sharp
nerve pain (neuralgia), toothache, sore throat, period pains, symptomatic relief of sprains, strains,
rheumatic pain, nerve pain of the lower back or legs (sciatica), lower back pain (lumbago), chronic
muscle pain, sometimes with tiredness and skin sensitivity (fibrositis), muscular aches and pains, joint
swelling and stiffness, influenza, feverishness, and feverish colds.
2. Before you take your medicine
Please read the following information. There is a possible association between aspirin and Reye’s
syndrome when given to children. Reye’s syndrome is a very rare disease, which affects the brain and
liver and can be fatal. For this reason, aspirin should not be given to children aged under 16 years,
unless on the advice of a doctor.
Do not take if you:
• are allergic to aspirin, paracetamol, caffeine, or any of the other ingredients listed in this leaflet
• have or have ever had a stomach ulcer, perforation or bleeding
