Panadol Extra is a brand name for a type of pain reliever medication that contains a combination of paracetamol and caffeine. Paracetamol, also known as acetaminophen, is a common over-the-counter pain reliever and fever reducer. Caffeine is a mild stimulant that can enhance the pain-relieving effects of paracetamol and increase alertness. Panadol Extra is used to relieve mild to moderate pain, such as headaches, toothaches, menstrual cramps, and muscle aches. It can also be used to reduce fever. The medication works by blocking the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation. Panadol Extra is available in tablet form and is usually taken orally with a glass of water. The recommended dose varies depending on the age and weight of the person taking the medication, as well as the severity of the pain or fever. It is important to follow the dosing instructions on the label or as directed by your healthcare provider to avoid overdosing or other complications. Like all medications, Panadol Extra can have side effects. Common side effects include upset stomach, nausea, and dizziness. In rare cases, the medication can cause serious side effects, such as liver damage or allergic reactions. It is important to talk to your healthcare provider before taking any medication, especially if you have a history of liver or kidney disease, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
