Product & Safety Notice
Buy Migraleve Pink (Codeine/Paracetamol) Tablets
Migraleve Pink (Codeine/Paracetamol) Tablets are pain relief tablets that help ease migraine attacks.
When used alongside Migraleve Yellow, these tablets can help relieve migraines and their symptoms, leaving you free from debilitating migraine pain.
How Migraleve Pink (Codeine/Paracetamol) Tablets work
Migraleve Pink contains paracetamol, codeine and buclizine, which treat migraines when taken alongside Migraleve Yellow.
