Buy Panadol

When you buy Panadol you are buying the GlaxoSmithKline brand name for their version of acetaminophen.  The drug is sold over the counter in more than 85 countries and is also known as Tylenol, Crocin, Dolex, and Panado.

It was first introduced in 1955 in UK hospitals as a pain reliever and fever reducer and at that time it was only available by prescription.  Since aspirin was the popular pain reliever of the time, but caused stomach upset to so many that used it, acetaminophen was considered much less harsh on the stomach.

Panadol has several versions that are available, and all over the counter.  The Panadol Advanced has a special construction that allows the medication to break down more easily and be distributed throughout the body more easily that the regular tablet versions.

The main purpose for Panadol, or acetaminophen, is to help relieve the pain of headache, colds, sore throats, muscle and body aches caused by over exertion or flu, and arthritic conditions.  There are many uses for this widely used drug and people of all ages can take it.

One of the most common uses for Panadol is to alleviate the aches and pains of arthritis, rheumatism, muscle strains and sprains, chronic back pain, stiff joints.  Those with fibromyalgia find it helpful as well. 

The liquid and drop forms are used primarily for children and infants.  The infant drops are more potent than the child aged liquid, so be sure to pay close attention to the dosage for the form you are administering. It helps to bring fever down in infants and helps to ease the pain of teething.  Children with colds and flu like symptoms can use it to quell fevers and reduce sore throat pain and body aches from the flu safely.  Adults that find it difficult to swallow tablets can also use the liquid form.

The tablet form is the most popular form and comes in different strengths and shapes for ease of swallowing.  There are round tablets and elongated caplets.  Purchase the one that you prefer as there is no difference between the shapes as long as the strength of dosage is the one you need.

There are drug interaction precautions to take with this and most other drugs.  For acetaminophen these precautions include anticonvulsants, diffusinal, anticoagulants, and alcohol when 3 or more drinks are taken in one day.

Potential side effects include allergic reaction which can be life threatening.  Get medical emergency help immediately if you experience hives, swelling of the tongue, lips, face, or throat, difficulty breathing, or shock.

Other potential side effects include liver toxicity, which can occur, especially if there is consumption of alcohol while taking this medication.  The symptoms to watch for may include any or all of the following: dark urine, yellowing of the skin or eyes, clay coloring of the stools, slight fever, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or loss of appetite.  If any of these occur, stop taking Panadol and call your doctor.
