Opioids have a serious risk of addiction, especially with long-term use.
Veganin Triple action tablets contain Paracetamol, Codeine and Caffeine which are used for relief from mild to moderate pain including fever. Veganin triple action tablets are suitable for vegetarians and vegans as they contain no ingredients derived from animals.
Each white capsule-shaped film-coated tablet contains paracetamol and codeine, which are both analgesics (relieve pain). Paracetamol also acts as an antipyretic (helps lower a high temperature) and as a mild anti-inflammatory (reduces swelling). Caffeine is a mild stimulant and causes wakefulness and increased mental activity. It can also help the effectiveness of paracetamol. Veganin provides relief from migraine, headache, backache, rheumatic pain, period pain, toothache, neuralgia, sore throat, and the fever, aches and pains of colds and flu.
Ingredients
Paracetamol, Codeine phosphate, Caffeine, Maize starch, methylcellulose, povidone, talc, calcium stearate, water, hypromellose and polyethylene glycol.
