The active ingredient in all paracetamol tablets, and or capsules is the same. The amount of medication may vary, usually 325 mgs or 500 mgs per tablet. Some forms may dissolve faster, and thus have a slightly faster onset of action, but the overall effect is the same.
If paracetamol will work on your headache, it will work regardless of the form.
The most effective treatment is to lie down in a darkened room, with soft music or no sound, place an icepack on your head and (if you want) take paracetamol or ibuprofen.
Beyond this there are other medications, such as the triptans which are directed at treating migraine syndromes which may be more effective.
In the long run the best management of headaches is through relaxation methods, but at times some rescue medications may be beneficial. However, if taken too often the paracetamols or any analgesic medication can start to cause headaches.
