Really Extra Tablets for Pain Relief
Really Extra Tablets are a combination medication formulated to provide effective relief from moderate to severe pain and inflammation. This triple-action formula combines three active ingredients—Paracetamol, Diclofenac Sodium, and Caffeine—to target pain at its source while reducing fever.
In Nigeria, Really Extra is commonly used for the management of acute pain conditions where a single-ingredient analgesic might not be sufficient.
Key Uses
Really Extra Tablets are effective for:
- Fast Head Relief: Managing severe headaches and migraines.
- Body & Muscle Pain: Relief from backaches, stiff neck, and muscle cramps.
- Joint & Arthritis Pain: Reducing inflammation and discomfort associated with arthritis.
- Dental Pain: Temporary relief from toothaches and dental discomfort.
- Fever Reduction: Helping to lower high body temperature.
How It Works
- Paracetamol (325mg): A well-known analgesic and antipyretic that reduces pain and fever.
- Diclofenac Sodium (50mg): A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces inflammation and swelling.
- Caffeine (30mg): Acts as an adjuvant to enhance the pain-relieving effects of the other ingredients, helping them work faster and more effectively.
Dosage and Administration
- Adults: Typically 1 tablet taken twice or thrice daily, or as directed by your healthcare professional.
- How to take: Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water. It is recommended to take Really Extra after a meal to minimize the risk of stomach irritation.
- Do not exceed the recommended dose.
Important Precautions
- Allergies: Do not use if you are allergic to Paracetamol, Diclofenac, Aspirin, or other NSAIDs.
- Stomach Health: Use with caution if you have a history of stomach ulcers or gastrointestinal bleeding.
- Other Medications: Avoid taking this with other products containing Paracetamol or Diclofenac to prevent accidental overdose.
