What is a migraine?

Migraines are a type of headache that can range from mild to severe. They typically begin in adolescence and affect a significant number of people. It is estimated that one in five women and one in fifteen men experience migraines.

There are three main types of migraines:

• Migraine with aura: Some individuals experience specific symptoms, known as an aura, before the onset of a migraine.
• Migraine without aura: This is the most common form, where there are no warning signs before the headache.
• Migraine aura without a headache: In some cases, an aura occurs without the headache, often referred to as a “silent migraine.”

 

What is the recommended dosage for this treatment?

Nurofen Migraine caplets are intended for short-term use and should be taken during a migraine episode, not as a preventive treatment.

The recommended dose is one caplet, which can be taken up to three times a day as required.

Ensure there is a gap of at least four hours between doses, and do not exceed three caplets within a 24-hour period.
