Pain reliever✓ FDA-verified
View full FDA label ↗Panadol PM is a medication used to temporarily relieve occasional headaches and minor aches and pains that may keep you from sleeping. It works by reducing pain and helping you feel more relaxed so you can sleep better. For adults and children aged 12 and over, the recommended dose is 2 caplets taken at bedtime, but you should not take more than this or use it for more than 10 days without consulting a doctor. A key warning to keep in mind is that taking more than 4,000 mg of acetaminophen in a day can lead to severe liver damage, so it's important to avoid other medications that contain acetaminophen. Additionally, if you are taking the blood-thinning medication warfarin, you should talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using Panadol PM.
