Veganin Triple Action Tablets

What is Veganin triple action used for? Veganin triple action tablets are used for mild to moderate pain, such as headache, migraine, toothache, muscular and rheumatic pain, backache (lumbago), nerve pain (neuralgia) and period pain.Veganin triple action tablets relieve aches, pains, sore throat and fever associated with colds and flu.  How does Veganin triple action work? Veganin triple action tablets contain three active ingredients: paracetamol, codeine and caffeine. Paracetamol is a simple painkilling medicine used to relieve mild to moderate pain and fever. Despite its widespread use for over 100 years, we still don't fully understand how paracetamol works to relieve pain and reduce fever. However, it is now thought that it works by reducing the production of prostaglandins in the brain and spinal cord.  The body produces prostaglandins in response to injury and certain diseases. One of the effects of prostaglandins is to sensitise nerve endings, causing pain (presumably to prevent us from causing further harm to the area). As paracetamol reduces the production of these nerve sensitising prostaglandins it is thought it may increase our pain threshold, so that although the cause of the pain remains, we can feel it less.  It is thought paracetamol reduces fever by affecting an area of the brain that regulates our body temperature (the hypothalamic heat-regulating center).   Veganin triple action tablets also contain codeine is a slightly stronger painkiller known as an opioid. Opioid painkillers work by mimicking the action of naturally occurring pain-reducing chemicals called endorphins. Endorphins are found in the brain and spinal cord and reduce pain by combining with opioid receptors.  Codeine mimicks the action of natural endorphins by combining with the opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord. This blocks the transmission of pain signals sent by the nerves to the brain. Therefore, even though the cause of the pain may remain, less pain is actually felt.   The final active ingredient in Veganin is caffeine, is a weak stimulant. It is thought that the addition of caffeine may enhance the painkilling effects of paracetamol.
