There is no doubt about it Panadol Rapid does what it claims. I actually find it a lot more effective than Panandol Osteo in relieving the pain and discomfort associated with my arthritic knees. Your recent overnight switch from a 20 pack to 16 pack was interesting,not a single 20 pack to be seen anywhere on Woolworths shelves,and the new 16 pack… Read more
was $5…Maybe you thought nobody would notice the size difference and just think it was a fantastic special. That $5 pack of 16 has now crept up to $5.40 and I have no doubt it will eventually creep up to $6.50 the old price of the 20 pack. The two pack limit because of some ‘abuse’ by some is ridiculous,I have a feeling it’s all leading to putting Panadol on the ever growing list of ‘Prescription’only meds which would make it rather expensive considering the price of a visit to the doctor.
Not worth it – Massive tablets that are hard to swallow, and coated with a strange salty flavour. I'll stick with the 90c generic gel caps instead.
Hard to remove – Caplets extreemly difficult to remove from internal foil type packaging.very annoying for someone already in pain Show details
blister packs have become extremely difficult to use – product works but trying to get them out of pack is extremely difficult, had to get a knife to slice pack open. Unable to push them out with hands and all panadol products seemed to have the same problem. I have to change to another brand due to this problem. Show details
Does Not Do Anything No Pain Relief – Are we all robots these days do we actually believe every that is being sold to us, I cannot believe its the first and last time I will ever try this panadol rapid false advertising, I had a headache usually take nerofen and I feel better within half hour, now with this rapid panadol took 2 and im telling you it did absolutely nothing still in… Read more
agony sid not even take the edge of pain was exactly the same agfer an hour waiting for rapid to work I dont know how they can sell that as a pain relief please do not waste your money it actually made my headache worse , back to my nerofen
Very painful toothache – Best product for my toothache felt the pain go away so quickly and had a better nights sleep the only product thats ever worked for me I love it so much Show details
Bicarb made me vomit! – I took this for my morning after headache. The active ingredient to absorb the Paracetamol rapidly is bicarbonate of Soda 15 mins later a huge frothy vomit!! Not impressed and still have a headache.
Rubbish – It doesn't help with a strong headache and toothache. I don't know how this company has been able to survive for so many years with false claims. Another promotional lie. I grew up in Europe and when I was younger, there were so many effective painkillers. This flop is not closer to them. If I could give minus 5 stars, I would have given them.… Read more
Total rubbish. Worth for any third world country. If there they would not be happy with this false product.
Effective, fast, easy to swallow – I am one of the lucky people who don't need to take pain relief very often. However, I have taken Panadol Rapid on several occasions to treat headaches, tension headaches and period pain. The product is effective, fast and does not cause any side effect. The caplets are easy to swallow and usually I will only need to take two. I would recommend this product, it's not very expensive. However, I don't know if it works for migraine headache.
Makes me feel weird! – I suffer from migraine and was keen to try the new Panadol Rapid. I found it to cause slight nausea, dizziness and a strange tingling feeling all over. This was not in any way an anaphylactic shock, but uncomfortable enough to not take it again. Once this feeling wore off it was as good as Panadol for general pain.
I find it works.... RAPIDLY! – I was a bit sceptical at first, considering the issues they had with other products in their range, but driving home from holidays I started to get a headache. Pulling into my local servo, these were the only ones they had on offer so I went ok i'll give them a shot, anything to stop the humping in my head. 10 minutes later and BOOM, headache… Read more
gone. I do have an issue with the size of the tablet though... it was like swallowing a horse tranquilizer, other than that I highly recommend!
Feels like I didn't take anything at all – Panadol rapid "period pain" I'm still in a lot of pain 2 1/2 hours after taking it & it honestly feels as if I didn't take anything at all. 0/10 I'll stick to nurofen at least that actually works.
Not for me – I usually take neurofen for period pain, but decided to give this a go. Took some panadol rapid and two hours later I am still writhing in pain. Back to trusty Neurofen for me.

so so so so good – I had been sick for a few days and as a result my neck was in so much pain from throwing up. Nurofen didn't work for me so I tried panadol rapid and within 15 minutes my neck felt 99% better. Gah, thank you so much :) <3
above average product – I bought these panadol pain relief products from towradgi gold cross chemist nsw as I was experiencing pain as an extra alternative to ibuprofen and found them great as they get absorbed quickly and are relatively kind to the stomache / I totally recommend these panadol products to anyone who has pain and is not interested in having ibuprofen based products
Only thing I can have, and it works – I'm allergic to codeine, penicillin and ibuprofen so all I can take for any pain or discomfort is paracetamol. Panadol rapid is what I have been using to take off the edge of my root canal pain. Thankfully I only have 1 more day to wait until it's started but regular paracetamol just doesn't cut it. Panafon rapid starts working for me within 15… Read more
mins so if the root canal pain sneaks up on me quickly I don't have to wait long for relief. Fast working, reliable, always use Big tablets, can get pricey if using it for mid term pain relief ie root canal
A fast acting product for pain relief – I picked this one up at the Chemists to try it for headaches and it has worked pretty well for me. It is a long tablet shape, so some people who find it hard to swallow tablets may find it difficult to swallow this one. It is effective for strong headaches and I dont feel too bad for taking a pain killer since its not ibuprofen based. I am not too… Read more
sure about the claim that its twice as fast, but it works pretty well. It comes in a handy smaller sized pack as well, but its expensive also. It comes in a very handy (and cute) sized pack for the handbag or briefcase, although this smaller pack can sort of open up and doesnt stay closed after a while in the bag. It is expensive since its a newer product and it is a branded one as well.
