Love it ;) Panadol, beloved in 85 countries p, is finally in the PH market and this iteration is its best one yet

Panadol 's pitch: It works 5 times faster than the leading paracetamol brand because of the Optizorb technology

“The brand is testament to our customers’ trust and faith in the product which boasts an extensive scientific research breakthrough such as the Optizorb^® technology in our new Panadol^® which is the first and only paracetamol product that contains Optizorb^®,” added Sayers.

Panadol^® with Optizorb^® is the only paracetamol brand with the unique Optizorb^® disintegration system which allows the release of its medicine in as little as five minutes vs. regular paracetamol tablets. Studies conducted by GSK have proven that 75 percent of people who take Panadol with Optizorb^® caplets reach pain relieving levels of paracetamol in the bloodstream significantly faster than those taking other generic pain relieving brands.
