Mixanal Caplet x4: Fast Relief for Toothache, Headache & Fever in Nigeria
Mixanal is a powerful combination analgesic used across Nigeria for the rapid relief of pain. Whether you are dealing with a "sharp" toothache, a persistent headache, or fever, Mixanal is formulated to act quickly and effectively.
Manufactured by PT Dankos Laboratories and marketed by Orange Drugs Limited, Mixanal has been a trusted choice in Nigerian pharmacies for years.
What is Mixanal used for?
Mixanal is specifically designed to target mild to moderate pain. Its common uses include:
- Fast Relief for Toothache: Highly effective for dental pain and inflamed gums.
- Headaches and Migraines: Provides quick relief from throbbing head pain.
- Menstrual Cramps: Helps manage discomfort during monthly periods.
- Fever Reduction: Quickly lowers body temperature during colds or flu.
- Joint and Muscle Pain: Relieves aches in the body and back.
Active Ingredients & How They Work
Each Mixanal caplet contains a synergistic blend of two active ingredients:
- Paracetamol (500mg): A well-known pain reliever and fever reducer.
- Guaranine/Caffeine (30mg): A natural stimulant that acts as an "analgesic adjuvant." This means it helps the paracetamol work faster and more effectively than taking it alone.
Physical Identification
A genuine Mixanal caplet is white with a red spot. It features the "D/K" emboss on one side and "MXL" on the other. Always check for these marks and the NAFDAC Reg. No (04-4184) to ensure you have the original product.
Mixanal Dosage for Adults
For the best results, follow these dosage instructions:
- Adults and children over 12 years: Take 1 to 2 caplets every 4 to 6 hours as needed.
- Maximum Dose: Do not exceed 8 caplets in 24 hours.
- Swallow the caplets whole with water. You can take them with or without food.
Safety and Side Effects
Mixanal contains caffeine, which may cause jitteriness or difficulty sleeping if taken late at night or with too much coffee.
Can a pregnant woman take Mixanal? While paracetamol is generally safe, the caffeine in Mixanal means you should consult your doctor or a GoMed pharmacist before use.
Does Mixanal cause sleepiness? No, because it contains caffeine, it is more likely to keep you alert rather than make you drowsy.
Note: If symptoms persist after 3 days, please consult a healthcare professional.
