Panamax
Pros
Cons
Had severe tooth pain, did nothing and after I took it pain got much worse.
I had a severe tooth pain all over, jaw etc I took Panamax because that’s all we had in the house in the middle of the night I couldn’t sleep. It did nothing at all and my pain got a hundred times worse after taking it. No idea why. Unbearable.

Paracetamol at a good price
This is the only way that I buy paracetamol for my family. It is great value for money and often on sale at Chemist Warehouse. I have always paid less than $2.50 for 100 tablets.

paracetamol is paracetamol !
Paracetamol is paracetamol and whether you call it Panadol or Panamax both are exactly the same thing. The only difference is that Panadol has a gelatine coating to make it more pleasant to take and Panamax doesn't have the coating. The gelatine coating has no impact on the effectiveness of the paracetamol. So the ONLY difference between the two is the gel coating which is probably responsible for Panadol's the higher price.
Panamax is used by a number of people that I know(including a nurse) in preference to "Panadol" to save money and all get...

Cheap and great
Read the ingredients peoples and stop buying brand names. Panamax is the same as the big brands, just as effective and easily a quarter of the price. No brainer really

Panamax/Panadol
Had open heart surgery and took two Panamax every six hours and it worked like a dream. No pains at all since surgery. Panamax and Panadol have the same ingredients, Paracetamol, the only difference is the coating and packaging.

It's all the same but....
An apple is an apple or pear is a pear Panamax is paracetamol and they're all the same no difference whatsoever but Panamax does not have a coating and is very difficult to swallow often just getting caught in the throat very uncomfortable. It's like swallowing a piece of chalk lol. It's a pity that product couldn't be coated with something to make it easier to swallow I would pay more for that option. But one swallowed it does exactly as you would expect it's paracetamol the functionality of this product is exactly the same as any other products containing paracetamol

Doesn't work
Doesn't work on me or anyone I know of. Missing many ingredients that Panadol optizorb has. Panadol works within 20 mins Panamax never, even our hospital states don't use it, Panamax is a placebo.

No different to panadol
Paracetmals are mostly the same, all work or don't work in same way. I buy panamax as it's cheaper than panadol. If I just have a bit of a headache it does ease it but more severe pain not so much. If I use Panadol brand, it is the same in that way.
Didn't work for me
I get quite severe migraine often and after running out of panadol and nurofen I turned to Panamax to relieve some pain, enough so I could sleep but literally nothing changed. It did not work at ALL even after waiting for an hour for it to "kick in" literally did not relieve any pain. So disappointed.

Simply Paracetamol
This is, as the label indicates, just 500 mg of paracetamol and nothing more.People who say Panadol is better or worse have psychological problems as each are identical !! The power of the Human mind or SOME Human minds What a joke !!

Great!
I've used Panamax since my early teen years and I'm now 26, still using and it still effectively works. Its helped reduce my fever and headaches quicker than panadol and is a lot cheaper than any pain killers I know! ($2 for a pack of 100 tablets from ChemistWarehouse)

Not my go-to pain relief.
There are few things that Panamax is good for - period pain, some headaches. But if you've got muscle soreness or any real inflammation, forget it. It does nothing at all for me most of the time. I'll only take it if it's the only pain relief available.
