Select Form
Paracetamol is a widely used pain reliever and fever reducer. Effervescent tablets dissolve in water before taking, which may make them easier to swallow and faster to absorb compared with standard tablets.
Paracetamol can help relieve a range of common symptoms including headaches, migraine, muscular aches, toothache, sore throat, and fever associated with colds and flu.
These tablets should be dissolved completely in a full glass of water before drinking. Effervescent tablets should never be swallowed whole.
Do not take more than the recommended dose. Taking too much paracetamol can cause serious liver damage, even if you feel well.
