Introducing Panadol Advance 500mg Tablets
with Optizorb

Panadol Advance is a new, advanced formulation of paracetamol.

Scientists have developed a new, improved Panadol tablet; it still has all the suitability of ordinary paracetamol, but breaks up in the stomach up to five times faster than ordinary paracetamol tablets.

This new speed is all thanks to a unique Optizorb formulation. This Optizorb formulation means that Panadol Advance spends less time in the stomach and is able to get to where it’s needed faster than ordinary paracetamol.

A smart choice for pain relief

Paracetamol is a popular choice of pain reliever amongst healthcare professionals and consumers. This is because it is suitable for a wide variety of people, some of whom may not always be able to use other types of oral pain reliever.

Panadol Advance Tablets are suitable for the treatment of a wide range of mild-to-moderate pain conditions but they break up in the stomach quicker so that they can start to get to work on pain at least 30% faster than ordinary paracetamol tablets.

The images below represent how a Panadol Advance tablet breaks up in the stomach up to 5 x faster than ordinary paracetamol tablets.
