Hi

does anyone know if Migravele (the pink and yellow migrane tablets) is available in Australia? If not does anyone know a good paracetamol based alternative?

thanks

Hi Mel

I suffer from migraines and take a tablet called Excredin Migraine which is actually from America but you can order it over the internet at www.excredrin.com I think.... might be worth a try if all else fails!!!

Hi Mel,

I am a Pharmacist here in the UK and sell plenty of Migraleve everyday. The Yellow tablets are exactly the same as co-codamol 8/500 ( 8mg Codeine / 500mg Paracetamol) that you can buy over the counter from the Pharmacy while the Pink ones have an antiemetic ( antisickness) Buclazine. ( U prob already knew that) and these ingredients are all available OTC in Australia.

I cannot be sure if U can buy it as Migraleve ( i can find out for u as I have Pharmacist Colleagues there) but I can assure you that you will find something similar if not exactly the same out there ( whereby u might have to take a combination of two tablets)

I would save ur money and only buy pink ones and then buy cheap co-codamol instead of the yellow ones.
let me know if u need any more info..

Hi Jo

have just looked up excredin and it happens to be exactly the same as Anadin extra ( paracetamol, Asprin and caffeine) might be cheaper and more convinient to get those instead of getting over internet...hope that helps....

americans call paracetamol another name so is confusing ( call it acitomenaphene)

take care

thanks Saloni

I will print out this message and take it to a chemist in Oz so that I can be sure I get the right stuff

I rarely use the yellow tablets as 2 pink ones generally gets rid of a migrane.

You are an absolute star!

It took me so long to find a tablet that got rid of my migranes in the UK, I was really not looking forward to having to try them all again in Aus to find the right one

thanks so much
