Panadol Extra Caplets 40 is a medication used to relieve pain and reduce fever. Each caplet contains 500mg of paracetamol and 65mg of caffeine. Paracetamol is a painkiller and fever reducer, while caffeine is a stimulant that can help to enhance the pain-relieving effects of paracetamol. Panadol Extra is typically used to relieve headache, toothache, menstrual pain, and other types of mild to moderate pain.
As with any medication, it is important to follow the instructions provided by your doctor or pharmacist. The usual dose for adults is two caplets every 4-6 hours, up to a maximum of 8 caplets in 24 hours. It's important not to exceed the recommended dose, as excessive use of paracetamol can lead to liver damage.
If you have any questions or concerns about using Panadol Extra Caplets 40, you should consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
