Panadol and Painkillers?

Question

Panadol and Painkillers... what are the differences? Similarities? And what are other risk factors of both drugs? Can you please use simple words to explain?

Thank you so much, this is part of my research task for an assignment, credit goes to you :)

Answer 1

Pain killers are allopathy medicine and panadol is I think ayurvedic or some other

Answer 2

they are both pain killers its just that Panadol is not strong and effective as some pain killers. Panadol takes a long time to ease the pain whereas some painkillers work right there

Answer 3

well over here Panadol is a brand of pain killer , i think it has Paracetamol in it. Its made by GlaxoSmithKline.

Answer 4

Panadol..Panamax..Dymadon.....they are all Paracetamol . Now you also have the NSAID family of painkillers...and a further family....called opiates which are stronger(i.e. Tramadol...Codeine etc)

The NSAID family of painkillers are..Nurofen....Naprosyn.....Aspirin....... However whilst Paracetamol is gentle to the stomach...the NSAID family are not and cause serious gastric problems in susceptible people. Remember always take the NSAID pain killers AFTER meals..NOT on an empty stomach
