Panadol ActiFast is an over-the-counter fast-acting pain relief medication. Each tablet contains 500mg of Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) formulated with a specialized sodium bicarbonate technology.
It is used for the rapid relief of mild to moderate pain, including headaches, migraines, toothaches, period pain, joint/muscle aches, sore throats, and cold/flu symptoms, as well as for reducing fever.
Panadol ActiFast is designed to deliver faster pain relief than standard paracetamol tablets:
Accelerated Absorption: The inclusion of sodium bicarbonate helps the tablet disintegrate and dissolve twice as fast as standard paracetamol in the stomach, allowing it to enter the bloodstream much quicker.
Targeted Pain & Fever Relief: Paracetamol inhibits prostaglandin synthesis in the central nervous system, effectively blocking pain signals and lowering body temperature during a fever.
Paracetamol Overdose Risk: Never exceed the maximum recommended daily dose (8 tablets / 4000mg in 24 hours). Taking too much paracetamol can cause severe, irreversible liver damage.
Avoid Combination Use: Do not take Panadol ActiFast alongside any other medications containing paracetamol (such as cough, cold, or sinus remedies) to avoid accidental overdose.
Sodium Alert: Panadol ActiFast contains sodium (173mg per tablet). If you are on a strict low-sodium diet, have high blood pressure, severe heart disease, or kidney impairment, consult your doctor before use.
Recommended Dosage for Adults and Adolescents (Aged 12 Years & Older):
Take 1 to 2 tablets every 4 to 6 hours as needed.
Maximum dose: 8 tablets (4000mg) in any 24-hour period.
Recommended Dosage for Children (Aged 6 to 11 Years):
Give 1/2 to 1 tablet every 4 to 6 hours as needed.
Maximum dose: 4 tablets in any 24-hour period.
Do not give to children under 6 years unless directed by a doctor.
How to Take:
Swallow tablets with a glass of water.
Can be taken on an empty or full stomach.
Leave at least 4 hours between doses.
