Panadol Advance Tablets (Pair)
This isn't a drink. It's a pharmacy item: Panadol Advance, an over-the-counter pain reliever, sold here as a small pair (a 2-tablet sachet). Each tablet contains paracetamol, used for the temporary relief of pain like a headache, muscular aches and the aches that come with a cold or flu, and to help bring down a fever. Always read and follow the directions on the pack.
The details
The detail worth knowing
Panadol is one of the most widely used paracetamol brands in the world, made by Haleon (formerly part of GlaxoSmithKline). The "Advance" version uses a formulation called Optizorb, which adds disintegrants such as alginic acid, calcium carbonate and crospovidone so the tablet breaks apart faster than a standard paracetamol tablet once it reaches the stomach. The active ingredient is the same familiar paracetamol; the difference is how quickly the tablet is designed to start releasing it.
