Panadol Optizorb Caplets
Get effective relief with Panadol Optizorb Caplets, which provide advanced absorption compared to regular Panadol tablets.
We all know that everyday aches and pains can sometimes get in the way of life. When they do, reach for an effective pain relief medicine that can start to work fast – like Panadol Oprizorb Caplets.
The OPTIZORB® formulation contains a patented delivery system which allows the caplets to deliver paracetamol (the active pain relief ingredient in Panadol)i more efficiently, by breaking down faster than regular Panadol tablets and caplets.
Panadol Optizorb Caplets provide relief of headache, migraine, sore throat, fever and toothache.
Just like regular Panadol tablets, Panadol Optizorb Caplets are film-coated to avoid a bitter aftertaste, and are designed in an easy-to-swallow capsule-shaped, making them well-suited to anyone who often finds tablets difficult to swallow.
Panadol Optizorb Caplets are also gentle on the stomach and can be taken with or without food.
