How It Works

Panadol Ultra contains two pain-relieving medicines:

Paracetamol helps reduce pain and fever by affecting the body’s production of prostaglandins involved in pain and temperature regulation.

Ibuprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces pain, inflammation, and fever by inhibiting prostaglandin production.

Together, these ingredients provide combined pain-relieving and fever-reducing effects.
