Panadol Actifast Tablets

caryn14

Has anyone seen any Panadol Actifast tablets (not the soluble version) in stock anywhere at all please? I know there have been some supply chain issues in recent months, but I still can't find them anywhere.

Thanks in advance.

If you look on Boots' website, the active ingredient is shown as paracetamol: https://www.boots.com/panadol-actifast-14-tablets-10028415

Maybe read this before looking further for the branded product: https://www.thesun.co.uk/living/1931984/how-buying-big-name-medicine-could-be-up-to-sixteen-times-more-expensive-than-non-branded-alternatives/

Thanks for the reply Marcon. It's not that I particularly want a branded paracetamol, this particular one is mixed with sodium so it works particularly quickly. It also doesn't upset my stomach like a lot of generic tablets that take longer to dissolve.

Have you spoken to your local pharmacist to see if they can recommend an alternative that is closer to Actifast than 'plain' paracetamol and might be a satisfactory alternative until new stocks of Actifast are available?
