Solpadeine is the brand name of a range of analgesic medication containing various amounts of paracetamol, ibuprofen, caffeine and codeine, currently made by Omega Pharma.[1] The range was previously made by GlaxoSmithKline, which sold its portfolio of over-the-counter drugs to Omega Pharma in 2012.[2]

In the United Kingdom there are four different medicines using the Solpadeine name, with no common active ingredient between them. The range includes:

  • Solpadeine Headache, containing paracetamol with caffeine
  • Solpadeine Plus, a compound analgesic containing paracetamol and codeine (co-codamol), with caffeine
  • Solpadeine Max, a compound analgesic containing paracetamol and codeine (with a higher codeine content than Solpadeine Plus), but without the caffeine
  • Solpadeine Migraine, a compound analgesic containing ibuprofen and codeine

In Australia it is marketed as Panadeine.[3]
