Fast-Acting Relief for Tough Pain
Panadol Extra Advance (14 Tablets) is a powerful combination of Paracetamol and Caffeine, specifically formulated to provide fast and effective relief from tough pain. Unlike standard paracetamol, this "Advance" variant uses Optizorb technology, a unique delivery system that helps the tablets dissolve much faster in the stomach.
Why choose Panadol Extra Advance?
- Faster Action: Starts to dissolve in as little as 5 minutes and begins to relieve pain within 15–20 minutes.
- Enhanced Power: The addition of Caffeine (65mg) acts as an adjuvant, boosting the pain-relieving effect of Paracetamol by approximately 30-37%.
- Versatile Relief: Effective for tough pain including migraines, toothaches, backaches, and severe period pain.
