Advantages: The price

Disadvantages: You need water to hand to take them

I was reading an article about which painkillers worked best on which pain and as aspirin was recommended for migraine I thought I'd better try it. Dispersible aspirin was said to be best as it gets to work quicker- because it dissolves you don't have to wait as long for it to take effect.

The aspirin comes in a yellow box containing 16 300mg tablets in a blister pack. We're told they're for the relief of all kinds of pains including headache, migraine, neuralgia, toothache, sore throat and period pain, colds and flu, rheumatic pain, sprains and strains, muscular aches, fibrositis, sciatica, lumbago, joint swelling and stiffness. Priced at around 20p they're really cheap too. Aspirin come with loads of warnings so you must read the leaflet that's with them and they're not to be given to anyone under 16. I've never had any side effects using them though.

To use you dissolve between 1-3 tablets in a glass of water every 4 hours. They take a few mins to dissolve and don't really taste of anything. They take effect within 15 mins.

I find these very effective, if taken quick enough it will help stop a migraine better than paracetamol does for me. They do seem to work well on all ailments but because of the health warnings I don't like to take them too often but I always take them for migraine. With them being dissolved in water they're ideal for when you can't swallow ie a sore throat. That can be a drawback if you're out with no drink to hand.

Summary: These work great on migraines
