Panadol Extend 12kaplet *Original*

Panadol Extend is a sustained release formulation of paracetamol that provides gentle and long-lasting relief from back and pain and even for persistent joint pain (such as osteoarthritis) for up to 8 hours.
The patented bi-layer caplet starts to release one layer straight away for fast pain relief， while the second layer is released slowly over the day or night to give long-lasting relief. This means longer lasting back and pain relief than ordinary paracetamol， with the improved convenience of fewer doses. In a recent clinical preference study， the majority of people living with joint pain also preferred Panadol Extend compared to ordinary Panadol. People who preferred Panadol Extend also reported that it provides better overall joint pain relief compared to ordinary Panadol. And you can rest assured it won't harm your stomach - you can't buy an oral pain reliever that is gentler on your stomach.

Features & Benefits

Panadol Extend is designed for 8 hours of relief from back and pain， and instead of 4-6 hours with ordinary Panadol.
