Product overview
About Panadol ActiFast
Paracetamol in a hurry: ActiFast pairs 500mg of paracetamol with sodium bicarbonate, which speeds the tablet's journey into the small intestine — where paracetamol is absorbed — so relief starts significantly faster than standard tablets. For headaches that need answering now. 10 tablets.
The absorption trick
Paracetamol isn't absorbed in the stomach; it waits for the intestine. The bicarbonate hurries gastric emptying along, cutting the queue — clinically shown to be absorbed up to twice as fast as ordinary paracetamol tablets. Same gentle safety profile, earlier relief.
How to take
Adults and children 12+: two tablets up to four times daily, four hours apart, never more than eight tablets (4g) in 24 hours. With water; food optional.
Good to know
The paracetamol arithmetic is absolute: count every source — cold-and-flu drinks, combination remedies — and never exceed the daily total. Pain beyond 10 days needs assessment, not escalation.

How is ActiFast faster?
