Similar pain relief with naproxen4

Panadol Extra and naproxen provided significantly better pain relief vs. placebo.4 Though their pain-relief effects were similar to each other (p<0.05), paracetamol was seen to have gastrointestinal suitability.10*

Effective relief even for migraines5

In a randomised, double-blind, cross-over phase IV, controlled trial, 92 patients with migraine were given either paracetamol 1000 mg + caffeine 130 mg or sumatriptan 50 mg.5

Panadol Extra was as efficient as sumatriptan (generally used to treat migraines) for pain relief.5

Significant relief from menstrual pain1

This was a single-dose, placebo-controlled, double blind three-way crossover study in women with moderate-to-severe dysmenorrhoea (n=320). The total pain relief (TOTPAR) was assessed for 1000 mg paracetamol + 130 g caffeine, 1000 mg paracetamol alone and 130 mg caffeine alone or placebo.

Two tablets of Panadol Extra provided significantly more pain relief than standard paracetamol tablets.1
