PANACIT EXTRA 500mg / 65mg tablets medication leaflet

N02BE51 • paracetamol + caffeine • Nervous system | Other analgesics and antipyretics | Anilides

Paracetamol + caffeine is a combination medication used to treat mild to moderate pain, such as headaches, migraines, dental pain, or muscle pain. Paracetamol acts as an analgesic and antipyretic, reducing pain and fever, while caffeine enhances the analgesic effect of paracetamol and helps reduce fatigue associated with pain.

This combination is commonly used for tension headaches and migraines, as caffeine can improve cerebral blood flow and alleviate symptoms.

Side effects may include nausea, insomnia, irritability, palpitations, or, in rare cases, allergic reactions. Excessive use can lead to liver damage (due to paracetamol) or symptoms of caffeine overdose, such as restlessness or tremors. It is important to take this combination as directed by a doctor or pharmacist and avoid long-term use without medical supervision.
