2X faster absorption with Panadol Rapid1,5*
Twenty-eight healthy volunteers were given standard Panadol tablets and Panadol Rapid in a crossover study. Blood samples were taken at regular intervals and analysed by high-performance liquid chromatography.

Panadol Rapid works on pain relief^ 10 minutes faster than standard Panadol Tablets6,7
Panadol Rapid was shown to provide some pain relief 10 minutes faster than standard Panadol tablets. In a single centre randomised, double blind, single-dose study, the time to onset and the degree of pain relief were determined with either two Panadol Rapid tablets (n=90) or standard Panadol tablets (n=90) administered to patients who had undergone dental extraction. The time to onset of meaningful pain relief was 30 minutes vs. 40 minutes for standard paracetamol.6,7
