Solpadeine is the brand name of a range of analgesic medication containing various amounts of paracetamol, ibuprofen, caffeine and codeine, currently made by Omega Pharma. The range was previously made by GlaxoSmithKline, which sold its portfolio of over-the-counter drugs to Omega Pharma in 2012.

In the United Kingdom there are four different medicines using the Solpadeine name, with no common active ingredient between them. The range includes:

Solpadeine Headache, containing paracetamol with caffeine

Solpadeine Plus, a compound analgesic containing paracetamol and codeine (co-codamol), with caffeine

Solpadeine Max, a compound analgesic containing paracetamol and codeine (with a higher codeine content than Solpadeine Plus), but without the caffeine

Solpadeine Migraine, a compound analgesic containing ibuprofen and codeine

In Australia it is marketed as Panadeine.
