Paramax Extra (Paracetamol, Caffeine)

Paramax Extra combines paracetamol and caffeine and works on pain‑related pathways and fever regulation.

• Headache: provides relief of tension‑type and migraine‑associated pain.
• Fever: reduces elevated body temperature in acute febrile states.
• Minor musculoskeletal pain: eases discomfort from back strain, sprains and similar conditions.
• Dental pain: alleviates pain following dental procedures.
• Cold‑related discomfort: helps lessen headache and body aches that accompany common colds.

• Paracetamol acts primarily through central inhibition of cyclooxygenase enzymes, reducing prostaglandin synthesis that mediates pain and fever. Caffeine enhances analgesic effect by antagonising adenosine receptors, increasing central nervous system stimulation and improving drug absorption. The combination yields a synergistic effect that heightens pain relief and antipyretic action.

Paracetamol/caffeine is generally well tolerated, but adverse reactions can occur.
