4Head Cutaneous Stick - 3.6g
A natural headache treatment, headache relief applied directly to your forehead.
What is 4head Stick?
4head Stick is a unique headache treatment designed to be applied directly to the point of pain on the forehead. Unlike most headache treatments, it provides relief right where you need it. The active ingredient in 4head Stick is levomenthol, more commonly known as menthol, which is the main constituent of peppermint oil. When applied, 4head Stick causes a cooling and tingling sensation, dilating the blood vessels in the skin, helping to block pain signals to the brain, and relieving and relaxing tense muscles in the head.
Benefits of Using 4head Stick
Long-lasting Relief
One of the key benefits of 4head sticks is that they can be applied whenever required, so there’s no need to wait 4 hours between treatments.
No Pills Required
With 4head Stick, there’s no need to swallow tablets, pills, or caplets. This makes it a suitable option 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
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.
How to Use 4head Stick
4head Stick is used by simply wiping the surface of the stick gently across your forehead. The application is colourless and non-greasy. It can be applied whenever you need it, offering fast, effective relief on-the-go. However, 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 the stick into the dispenser and replace the 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.
How 4head Stick Works
4head Stick 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. In fact, a clinical trial with tension headache sufferers confirmed that after applying 4head Stick they could feel the effects of its topical painkiller, levomenthol (more commonly referred to as menthol), starting to work in just 2 minutes.
4head Stick Side Effects
Like all medicines, 4head Stick can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. In some rare cases, it can cause irritant or allergic skin reactions on extremely sensitive skin. Because the product is volatile (i.e., liable to give off a small amount of vapour), in rare cases it may cause temporary, mild watering of the eyes. Stop using this product if it feels uncomfortable.

4head Stick can be used by adults, the elderly, and children. However, 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. 4head Stick can be used as often as required.
