Buy your headache medication at your ARS-approved pharmacy

Headaches plague thousands of people every day. Anyone can suffer from a headache at one time or another. Lack of sleep, stress, poor posture in front of the screen... all these factors can trigger it. However, all these headaches fall into 3 main categories: tension headache, migraine and cluster headache.

In addition to convenience, online drug sales also offer cost advantages. Online pharmacies often offer more attractive prices than traditional pharmacies, as they have lower operating costs.

Our online pharmacy Soin-et-Nature offers a selection of pharmaceutical treatments and remedies to soothe headache-related pain.

The different types of headache

Pain, tingling, throbbing in the skull... These are just a few of the terms generally used to describe headaches.

Also known as cephalalgia, a headache is any painful complaint centered on the cranial region.

It's a common symptom in adults, but also in children under the age of 15.

In reality, there is not just one type of headache, but several. They can be distinguished according to :

mode of onset: the headache may appear suddenly, or develop gradually;
location: the pain may spread throughout the head, or remain localized (half the head, for example);
intensity: the headache may be experienced as a simple discomfort, or as intense pain that prevents normal activities. The pain may be continuous (constant) or pulsating (pounding);
the circumstances in which it occurs: certain factors can trigger a headache, such as pollution, medication or excessive alcohol consumption. Headaches can also be aggravated by exertion;
duration: acute headaches appear and disappear rapidly; chronic headaches generally set in more slowly and progressively. They can last for weeks or months(chronic daily headaches);
the headache may be accompanied by other signs: fever, nausea and vomiting, loss of sensitivity, numbness, etc.

Buying medication online also means greater confidentiality. If you have sensitive health problems, such as chronic migraines, you can order your medication online without having to worry about your privacy.

Which headache medication?

The treatment of headaches relies on the use of painkillers such as paracetamol or aspirin. Most of these drugs are available without a prescription, and should only be used for self-medication if the appropriate precautions are taken. However, excessive or prolonged use can turn intermittent headaches into a permanent condition: this is known as analgesic abuse headache.

Painkillers (aspirin, ibuprofen or paracetamol, alone or in combination) are usually effective in treating headaches. Most of these painkillers are available without a prescription, and should only be self-medicated in accordance with the recommended dosage and precautions for use.
NSAIDs should be used with caution in patients with a history of stomach or duodenal ulcers, renal insufficiency, asthma or gout, and in women with intrauterine devices (IUDs).
Unlike aspirin or NSAIDs, paracetamol has no adverse digestive effects. Rare allergic skin reactions are possible. It should only be taken in recommended maximum doses. Overdosing on paracetamol can be toxic to the liver. Many medicines, particularly those used to relieve colds, contain paracetamol. Avoid combining them.

Online pharmacy sales are a practical, affordable and discreet way of obtaining the medicines you need to prevent and relieve headaches. So don't hesitate, consult an online pharmacy today to regain your well-being and comfort.

Your pharmacist's advice on treating headaches

Take your medication as soon as the pain appears.
Respect doses and intervals between doses.
Avoid alcohol during treatment if it continues for several days.
Consult your doctor if the pain doesn't go away: taking too many painkillers can cause headaches and side effects if combined with other treatments.
Always tell your doctor about any medication you are taking.
