A unique formulation that acts faster than standard paracetamol tablets, delivering effective relief from headaches, muscular aches, toothache, period pain, and cold & flu symptoms. Gentle on the stomach, with no added caffeine.
Panadol ActiFast is built specifically around faster absorption — the active ingredient reaches the bloodstream more quickly than a conventional tablet, so it starts working on pain sooner. It's the same trusted paracetamol, engineered to get there faster, and remains gentle on the stomach.
Consult your doctor before use if you have severe liver or kidney disease.
Panadol ActiFast is generally well tolerated and gentle on the stomach. As with all medicines, side effects are possible, though not everyone experiences them. If you notice any reaction you're concerned about, seek medical advice.
"ActiFast is a good option for people who want a fast-acting paracetamol without anything added like caffeine. It's gentle on the stomach, which makes it a sensible everyday choice for most adults. As with any paracetamol product, the main thing to check is that you're not doubling up with another paracetamol-containing medicine — that's one of the most common ways people accidentally exceed the safe daily limit."
— Anne Harty, Ballyduff Pharmacy
