Product Information

Paralief 500mg Film-Coated Tablets are a versatile and effective essential for any home medicine cabinet. Containing paracetamol, these tablets belong to a group of medicines called analgesics (painkillers), designed to provide short-term relief from mild to moderate pain and to help reduce fever.

This 24-pack is ideal for managing common ailments such as headaches, period pain, toothache, and cold or flu symptoms in adults, adolescents, and children over 6 years of age.

Effective Pain Relief

Paralief is formulated to offer effective relief when you need it most. Whether you are dealing with a nagging headache or a sudden fever, these tablets work quickly to ease discomfort. The tablets are film-coated and caplet-shaped, making them easier to swallow, and they feature a score line, allowing them to be divided into two equal doses if required for younger children.

Key Benefits

  • Dual Action: Effectively relieves pain and reduces high temperatures (fever).
  • Versatile Treatment: Suitable for headaches, muscular aches, dental pain, and menstrual cramps.
  • Easy to Swallow: Film-coated caplets designed for comfort.
  • Family-Friendly: Can be used by adults and children from age 6 upwards.
  • Sodium-Free: Contains less than 1 mmol of sodium per tablet, making it essentially 'sodium-free'
