This was a pharmacokinetic study of 76 healthy adults of replicate dosing of Panadol Advance or standard paracetamol tablets (1000 mg dose) administered on 4 separate days.11 The average concentration of paracetamol in plasma at 10, 20 and 30 minutes for Panadol Advance was 1.62; 3.26; 4.93 vs. 0.69; 1.8; 2.82 for standard paracetamol tablets. This means that the concentration of paracetamol at 10, 20 and 30 minutes in subjects taking Panadol Advance was 134%, 81% and 75% higher than those that ingested standard paracetamol tablets.11
