4head Stick is for fast, effective headache relief without pills.
Jump to
Unlike most headache treatments, 4head Stick is specially designed to be applied directly to the point of pain on the forehead.
The active ingredient is levomenthol, more commonly referred to as menthol, presented in a convenient retractable stick dispenser. Many people are familiar with menthol as being the main constituent of peppermint oil.
When 4head Stick is applied it causes a cooling and tingling sensation, dilating the blood vessels in the skin, helping to block pain signals to the brain. It can also help to relieve and relax tense muscles in the head.
Can be applied whenever required, so there's no need to wait 4 hours between treatments.
No need to swallow tablets, pills or caplets – suitable if you have difficulty or dislike swallowing headache pills.
Convenient and portable. The neat and handy applicator stick is convenient for use whenever a headache creeps up, whether at work, home or on the move.
Cosmetically acceptable, because 4head Stick is specially formulated to be non-greasy and colourless on application. So it shouldn't interfere with make-up.
Please note: 4head Stick is not recommended for people with hypersensitivity to menthol.
4head Stick is used by simply wiping the surface of the stick gently across your forehead. The application is colourless and non-greasy.
4head Stick can be applied whenever you need it. It offers fast, effective relief on-the-go.
Do not use too much otherwise the skin sensation may become excessive. If this occurs, subsequent applications should be less frequent or over a smaller area.
After use, retract into dispenser and replace cap. 4head Stick must only be used on the forehead.
Stop using 4head Stick if it feels uncomfortable. If you experience any other undesirable effects, seek medical advice.
If 4head Stick is accidentally swallowed, seek medical attention.
Adults, the elderly and children can use it - although when young children complain of headaches, it is normally appropriate to discuss this first with their doctor. As with any medicine, excessive use should be avoided.
Remove outer cap and, before use, also remove the small protective inner cap from the top of the dispenser.
Twist the dispenser base clockwise, whilst holding the upper section, until the levomenthol stick protrudes from the top of dispenser.
Apply gently across the forehead as required (taking care to avoid the eyes).

4head contains the topical painkiller - 90% levomenthol - that can help block pain signals caused by headaches and relax the muscles in the head.
After swiping 4head Stick across your forehead, you'll quickly feel soothing, cooling and tingling sensations. These are the first signs that 4head's analgesic action is starting to work.

4head Stick and 4head QuickStrip can be used as often as required.

A migraine is an intense, throbbing headache, often only on one side of the head. Sufferers usually want to rest and keep still, preferably in a quiet, darkened room. Tension headaches tend to feel like a 'band' across the forehead and are often coupled with sensitivity in the muscles at the back of the head and neck.
4head QuickStrip is an advanced hydro-gel strip that can be used with or without tablets to provide instant, cooling relief from headaches and migraines, and help to relax tense neck and head muscles.
