How will this product work ease my pain?
Veganin tablets contain three active ingredients which work to ease your pain; paracetamol, codeine, and caffeine. Paracetamol is a popular painkiller that many people use every day to ease aches and pains as well as high temperatures. Codeine is part of a group of medicines known as opioid analgesics, which means that it works to ease the pain.

Caffeine is a stimulant that helps paracetamol to work more effectively.

Can I take two painkillers at once?
Sometimes when you take painkillers you find that although they make your headache, backache, or whatever your aches and pains you’re trying to treat a bit better, they don’t quite do the job.
This is when you might consider picking up another painkiller to try to kick that pain to the curb. But how do you know if this is safe? Can you take more than one painkiller at once?
If you’ve ever looked into your medicine cabinet and asked yourself one of these questions then you’ve come to the right place.
