✅ Introduction
When pain strikes, you need a solution that works quickly and effectively. Panadol Extra 24 Tablets is a trusted over-the-counter pain reliever designed to provide fast pain relief. With its dual active ingredients — 500mg Paracetamol and 65mg Caffeine — Panadol Extra delivers rapid results against headaches, migraines, backaches, toothaches, menstrual pain, and even fever.
Unlike ordinary painkillers, Panadol Extra is enhanced with caffeine, which not only boosts the absorption of paracetamol but also improves alertness, helping you get back to your daily activities faster.
✅ Active Ingredients & How They Work
Paracetamol (500mg): A widely used pain reliever and fever reducer. It helps block pain signals in the brain and lowers elevated body temperature.

Together, they form a powerful formula for fast, effective, and long-lasting relief.
