Significant relief from menstrual pain1

This was a single-dose, placebo-controlled, double blind three-way crossover study in women with moderate-to-severe dysmenorrhoea (n=320). The total pain relief (TOTPAR) was assessed for 1000 mg paracetamol + 130 g caffeine, 1000 mg paracetamol alone and 130 mg caffeine alone or placebo.

Two tablets of Panadol Extra provided significantly more pain relief than standard paracetamol tablets.1
