Shop Hedex pain relief tablets at withaid, a UK based and regulated online pharmacy. This brand page brings together the current Hedex range so you can quickly compare options for short-term relief of everyday aches and pains, including headache and tension headache, backache, muscle aches, toothache and period pain. If you’re buying online, you’ll usually be looking for a trusted brand, clear ingredient information, simple pack-size choices and straightforward delivery—so you can choose a product that fits your needs and use it safely.
To help you choose, start with the type of pain you’re treating and check whether a standard or “extra” formula is more appropriate for you. Always read the label and patient information leaflet, follow dosing directions, and avoid taking more than one product with the same active ingredients (for example, paracetamol can also be found in some cold and flu remedies). If you take regular medicines, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a long-term condition, ask a pharmacist for advice before purchase.

FAQs
What are Hedex tablets used for?
Hedex products are pain relief tablets intended for short-term relief of everyday aches and pains such as headache and tension headache, backache, muscle aches, toothache and period pain. Check each product page and the pack label for full indications and suitability.
What’s the difference between Hedex and Hedex Extra?
Both are Hedex pain relief tablets, but Hedex Extra is positioned as a stronger option. Compare the product pages for ingredients, directions and warnings, and choose what’s most suitable for you.
How do I choose the right Hedex option for me?
Match the product to your symptoms and check the label for suitability. Consider any other medicines you take, and avoid doubling up on the same active ingredients across different products. If you’re unsure, a pharmacist can advise.
Can I take Hedex with other medicines?
Some medicines can interact, and some products may contain overlapping ingredients. Take extra care with cold and flu remedies that may already include pain relief. If you take regular medicines (including blood thinners) or have a long-term condition, ask a pharmacist before use.
Is Hedex suitable in pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Not all pain relief medicines are suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Read the label carefully and seek advice from a pharmacist, GP or midwife before using any medicine in these situations.
When should I seek medical advice for pain?
Speak to a pharmacist or GP if pain is severe, keeps returning, doesn’t improve with short-term use, or if you have new or unusual symptoms. Seek urgent help for serious symptoms such as chest pain, breathing difficulties, sudden severe headache, facial droop, weakness, or signs of a severe allergic reaction.
Safety advice: Always read the label and follow the directions on the pack and any patient information leaflet. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest time needed. If you are unsure what’s suitable, speak to a pharmacist; if symptoms are severe, persistent or worrying, contact your GP or NHS 111.
