What Experts Say

Paracetamol lowers fever and raises the pain threshold in the brain. Caffeine adds to this effect by narrowing swollen blood vessels in the head and improving absorption. This is why the pair often works better for headaches than paracetamol alone. Many people notice relief within 30 to 45 minutes. It is not meant for daily long term use.

Each tablet holds 500 mg paracetamol and 65 mg caffeine. Caffeine can cause jitteriness, fast heartbeat or trouble sleeping, so late evening use is best avoided. People with anxiety or heart rhythm problems should be especially careful. Tea, coffee and energy drinks add to the total caffeine intake.

Using painkillers too often can cause rebound headaches. The daily paracetamol limit also applies, and other cold products may contain it. Headache with fever, stiff neck or vision changes needs urgent medical care. Frequent headaches deserve a proper check of their cause.
