Normally I take two tablets to combine them, having this was really handy.
This arrived while I was going through covid and WOW my nagging headache was gone as soon as these kicked in! I will be adding these to my medical cabinet.
I’ve used this in the past as is touted as being good for period pain. I do find it effective and think it’s a great idea, however the cost means I wouldn’t currently purchase this product unfortunately.
Found this worked a lot quicker than usual paracetamol or ibuprofen on their own which is surprising given less of each than standard dosing. Totally have me sold!
+ PROS: work fast with less dosing

It worked well for light headache but contains less ibuprofen than I would normally take, so unsure how it would be with more severe headache
Magicgesic only offers 300mg ibuprofen per dose where an adult dose is 400mg. For the price, it is still cheaper to buy non-branded ibuprofen and paracetamol
As someone who already combines paracetamol and ibuprofen for pain relief, it is very useful to have both medicines in one tablet. This provides the best most effective over the counter pain relief. I will use this product when on the run, but probably prefer to combine the cheaper “budget brand” tablets separately for use at home, as I believe they are cheaper have the same end result. I do think the Maxigesic branding is on the mark, as it looks reliable and trustworthy.
+ PROS: It works. Looks like a trustworthy product.
- CONS:Costs mores than budget products which do the same thing when combined.

Hadn’t used a Paracetamol / Ibuprofen mix before, but it seemed to work really well
