Panadol Actifast 500mg Paracetamol for Pain Relief, 20 Tablets

Panadol Actifast uses the sodium salt form of Paracetamol, which dissolves and is absorbed into the bloodstream significantly faster than standard Paracetamol tablets. The sodium salt is highly soluble in gastric fluid, enabling rapid dissolution and absorption from the stomach - leading to measurably faster peak plasma concentrations and faster onset of pain relief compared to conventional Paracetamol tablets. Panadol Actifast is the choice when fast pain onset is the priority.

Specs

• Active ingredient: Paracetamol 500mg (sodium salt formulation)
• Form: Tablets - sodium salt for fast dissolution
• Pack size: 20 tablets
• Onset: As fast as 10 to 15 minutes in some patients
• Action: Fast-onset analgesic / antipyretic

Benefits

• The sodium salt of Paracetamol has significantly higher aqueous solubility than the acid form used in standard tablets, enabling much faster dissolution in gastric fluid and more rapid absorption across the stomach wall - producing faster peak plasma concentrations
• Studies comparing Panadol Actifast to standard Paracetamol tablets have demonstrated measurably faster onset of pain relief, with some patients experiencing benefit within 10 to 15 minutes - compared to the 30 to 45 minutes typical of standard tablets
• The faster onset is particularly valuable for acute pain conditions such as tension headache, period pain, and dental pain where immediate relief is the clinical priority and waiting 30 to 45 minutes for a standard tablet to take effect is significantly uncomfortable
• Provides the full 500mg therapeutic Paracetamol dose - the same total active ingredient as a standard Panadol tablet, delivered faster rather than at a higher dose
• Panadol Actifast represents the same pharmaceutical quality and safety profile as all Panadol products but with the maximum available absorption speed enhancement that oral tablet technology can provide

How to Use

• Adults and children 12 years and over: take 1 to 2 tablets every 4 to 6 hours as needed
• Take with a full glass of water on an empty stomach if possible for maximum speed benefit - food slows gastric emptying and reduces the fast-onset advantage
• Do not exceed 8 tablets (4000mg) in 24 hours
• Leave at least 4 hours between doses
• Do not take alongside other Paracetamol-containing products
• Consult a physician if pain persists beyond 5 days or fever beyond 3 days
