What you need to know before taking Relpax

Relpax is not an effective prescription pain relief for common headaches or tension headaches. It will only treat a migraine once it has already begun.

Before ordering Relpax online, it is very important that you have had your migraines diagnosed by your GP. It could cause unwanted side effects if taken when a migraine is not in full force.

What characteristics does a migraine have?

A tension headache can be debilitating and sometimes as painful as a migraine, but it is important to tell the difference before taking this medication.

Migraines can usually be identified as:

• Pain on just one side of the head
• Cluster pain that increases in intensity
• Sensitivity to light, light hurts the eyes
• Nausea and sickness

A tension headache, in comparison, feels like a tight band around the head and can usually be treated with paracetamol.
