Always read the label
Feminax Period Pain Capsules have been designed to provide relief from period pain with a double-action formula of codeine and paracetamol.
Feminax is a strong, effective painkiller for women and young adults aged 16+ who suffer from stomach cramps and other symptoms of period pain such as headaches and leg and back pain.
You can take 1 or 2 Feminax Period Pain Capsules every 4-6 hours but never take more than 8 capsules in 24 hours.
Taking codeine regularly for a long time can lead to addiction and taking a painkiller too often or for too long can make them worse. If you need to use Feminax Period Pain Capsules for more than 3 days at a time, you should see your doctor or pharmacist.
A Feminax Period Pain Capsule contains 8mg of codeine phosphate and 500mg of paracetamol.
