Solpadeine is the brand name of a range of analgesic medication containing various amounts of paracetamol, ibuprofen, caffeine and codeine, made by Omega Pharma.[1] The range was previously made by GlaxoSmithKline, which sold its portfolio of over-the-counter drugs to Omega Pharma in 2012.[2]
In the United Kingdom there are four different medicines using the Solpadeine name, with no common active ingredient between them. The range includes:
- Solpadeine Headache, containing paracetamol with caffeine
- Solpadeine Plus, a compound analgesic containing paracetamol and codeine (co-codamol), with caffeine
- Solpadeine Max, a compound analgesic containing paracetamol and codeine (with a higher codeine content than Solpadeine Plus)
- Solpadeine Migraine, a compound analgesic containing ibuprofen and codeine
In 2016 it was one of the biggest selling branded over-the-counter medications sold in Great Britain, with sales of £43.1 million.[3]
In Australia it is marketed as Panadeine.[4]
