Panadol Extra is a pain reliever and fever reducer that contains the active ingredient Paracetamol. It is used to treat mild to moderate pain such as headaches, toothaches, and muscle aches. It is also used to reduce fever caused by infections or illnesses. Paracetamol works by inhibiting certain enzymes in the brain known as cyclooxygenase enzymes, which reduces the production of prostaglandins, the chemicals that cause pain and inflammation. This effect helps alleviate pain and improve overall comfort. Paracetamol is considered a safe and effective option for many patients, including those who cannot take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
