Panadol extend

Bi Layer Technology

The bi-layer technology uses two formulations – an immediate release layer on the outside of the caplet that releases 31% of paracetamol rapidly2 and a second underlying layer that delivers the remaining 69% of paracetamol2 for up to 8 hours of pain relief.1

Basics of bi-layer technology

In one study, 80% of patients found Panadol Extend (with bi-payer technology) to be as effective as celecoxib.3
