4Head Effective Headache Relief Stick – 3.6g

Description

4Head Effective Headache Relief Stick – 3.6g

4Head Effective Headache Relief Stick is a topical remedy designed to relieve headache discomfort by applying directly to the forehead — no tablets or water needed. It is suitable for adults and children aged 12 and over who prefer a non-oral option for headache relief.

⸻

How It Works

The active ingredient, levomenthol, works by creating a cooling sensation on the skin when applied to the forehead. This cooling effect is thought to help distract from headache pain and promote a sense of relief by stimulating cold-sensitive receptors in the skin.

⸻

Directions for Use

For adults and children aged 12 and over, apply the stick across the forehead using 4–6 strokes, then gently rub the product in with your fingertips. Repeat up to 3 times daily as needed. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, or broken skin. Always read the patient information leaflet before use. If you are unsure about the correct dose, speak to your PillSorted pharmacist.
