Panadol Period Pain is an over-the-counter enhanced dual-action pain reliever manufactured by GSK / Haleon. The 16-caplet pack contains two active ingredients per caplet: 500mg of Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) and 65mg of Caffeine.
It is specially formulated to provide fast and effective relief from dysmenorrhea (period pain and menstrual cramps), as well as associated symptoms like backache, headaches, and muscle aches.
Panadol Period Pain combines an effective analgesic with a proven enhancer for targeted menstrual relief:
Targeted Pain Relief (Paracetamol 500mg): Inhibits prostaglandin synthesis in the central nervous system, blocking the transmission of pain signals caused by uterine contractions.
Analgesic Adjuvant (Caffeine 65mg): Enhances the pain-relieving action of paracetamol by up to 30%, allowing for faster and more powerful relief from stubborn menstrual cramps.
Paracetamol Overdose Risk: Never take more than 2 caplets at a time, and do not exceed 8 total caplets (4000mg paracetamol) in any 24-hour period. Excessive paracetamol can cause severe, irreversible liver damage.
Caffeine Caution: Avoid or limit consuming caffeinated beverages (such as coffee, tea, cola, or energy drinks) while taking this medicine. Excessive caffeine can cause restlessness, irritability, sleeplessness, and a racing heartbeat.
Avoid Combination Use: Do not take alongside any other medications containing paracetamol (including cold, flu, or cough remedies).
Recommended Dosage for Adults and Adolescents (Aged 12 Years & Older):
Take 1 to 2 caplets every 4 to 6 hours as needed.
Maximum dose: 8 caplets in any 24-hour period.
Age Limit: Do not give to children under 12 years of age.
How to Take:
Swallow caplets whole with water or a cold drink.
Can be taken on an empty or full stomach.
Leave at least 4 hours between doses.
Panadol Period Pain is well-tolerated when used as directed. Side effects are typically related to caffeine and may include:
Mild nervousness, restlessness, or difficulty sleeping (insomnia).
Mild stomach discomfort or nausea.
Slightly increased heart rate.
Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C.
Keep caplets sealed in their original blister pack inside the box to protect from light and moisture.
Keep strictly out of reach of children.
Standard Panadol contains only paracetamol. Panadol Period Pain includes caffeine, which boosts the pain-relieving power of paracetamol to tackle severe menstrual cramps and headaches more effectively.
Yes, if necessary. Paracetamol with caffeine and ibuprofen work through different mechanisms and can be safely taken together or alternated, provided you stay within the maximum daily limits for both medicines.
Panadol Period Pain is not recommended during pregnancy due to its caffeine content, which should be restricted during gestation. Standard paracetamol (without caffeine) is preferred. If breastfeeding, consult your doctor or midwife before use.
