Panadol Rapid Paracetamol 500 mg

Panadol Rapid is a fast-acting paracetamol pain relief formulation designed to alleviate headaches, muscle aches, and fever. The brand Panadol was first brought to market in the United Kingdom in 1956 by Sterling Drug (through its subsidiary Frederick Stearns & Co.) as an alternative analgesic to aspirin.

Following a series of corporate acquisitions, Panadol became a flagship brand under the pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). In July 2022, GSK officially spun off its consumer healthcare division into an independent global company named Haleon plc, which now holds full ownership of the Panadol brand.

While Panadol is sold and recognised across the United Kingdom and globally, this specific pack bearing the 'AUST R 332528' registration mark is produced for the Australian and New Zealand markets, typically manufactured at Haleon's pharmaceutical manufacturing sites in Australia, Ireland, and across its broader global supply network.
