What Experts Say

Amadol Extra combines paracetamol with a small dose of caffeine. Paracetamol has been a first choice pain and fever medicine for decades because it is gentle on the stomach, while caffeine is added because it makes the pain relief kick in faster and last a little longer.

Paracetamol reduces pain and fever by acting on pain and temperature centers in the brain, rather than reducing inflammation in the body the way NSAIDs do. This is why it does not cause the stomach irritation associated with medicines like ibuprofen or diclofenac, making it a safer everyday option for most people.

The biggest risk with paracetamol is taking too much, either alone or combined with other cold and flu products that also contain paracetamol, since this can seriously harm the liver. Adults should not exceed four grams of paracetamol in twenty four hours, and alcohol should be avoided while using this tablet.
