About Anadin
Anadin is Britain's most famous over-the-counter painkiller brand with over 90% consumer awareness. Launched in the UK in 1932 as a derivative of American brand Anacin, Anadin has remained a household name for headache and pain relief for over 90 years. Now owned by Haleon, the brand is the second biggest selling branded analgesic in the UK, worth £45 million. The Anadin range has evolved significantly since its aspirin-only origins. Anadin Original maintains the classic dual action formula of aspirin and caffeine for effective headache relief. Anadin Extra, launched in 1983, introduced a triple action formula combining aspirin, paracetamol, and caffeine—aspirin targets the source of pain, paracetamol helps block pain signals, and caffeine speeds up relief. A soluble version followed in 1992. The portfolio expanded further when legislation changes in the 1990s enabled new formulations. Anadin Paracetamol (launched 1988) offers a gentler option suitable for children from age six, particularly beneficial for feverish colds and flu. Anadin Ultra and Anadin Joint Pain tablets contain ibuprofen for anti-inflammatory relief. Whether you need aspirin, paracetamol, or ibuprofen-based pain relief, Anadin has an option.
