jesse?
No pseudo in panamax.
Nice
Yes Mr White
"That'll be 69 cents please"
"..nice…"
I do like the 69c pajamas deal, thanks
Perfect for the Boxing Day hangover
Ondansetron is better for that
Usually limited to 2 per customer.
how to convince wife?
Paracetamol provides relief of pain and high temperatures within 30 minutes of taking a dose. Examples of brand names: Dymadon, Febridol, Panadol, Panamax, Paralgin, Panadol Osteo
Same active ingredient but other things are different. Meaning different delivery time or means of delivery/ preservation
Not just active ingredients but most of time paracetamol from same supplier and same quality. Just different brand name.
I can feel a counterfeit Panadol business in the works.
that's the active ingredient ya nut case
switcheroo: reuse an old panadol box and/or switch out, the foil all starts with Pan-adol Pan-amax and when you have a headache and it looks similar not gonna notice
Yes, just grab a sharpie and cross out the "max" on the foil with "dol".
Why?
People abuse deodorant cans, cough syrups, soda canisters, along with heroin, coke, speed etc…
Doesn’t mean others who aren’t f… stupid shouldn’t get their 69c box of Paracetamol.
The ability to buy alcohol in bulk amounts gives rise to far higher levels of danger from possible abuse.
This is the cheapest way to get several months supply of pain medication for the occasional headache or injury for my household.
I usually split up the box and keep a few sheets of pills in various places - my office drawer, work bag, car glovebox, wife's handbag etc.
Beats the hell out of paying 10x the price buying smaller amounts at the grocery store.
Not really. Abuse implies intent to do something that likely is harmful.
Misuse is more plausible. People increasing the dose beyond recommended levels. And yes, easy to kill a liver that way.
I still wouldn't call paracetamol dangerous, unless you go as far as calling water or food dangerous. Anything will kill you if you have way too much of it…
Apparently not great for the liver. I find they don't do anything for pain relief either, not sure why my doctor/dentist always tell me to take it…
let them know
The more u take the less it has an affect. Diff peeps have diff reactions. Maybe try some morphine ;)
You must be the one who can only take narcotics for pain?
Paracetamol is a mild pain relief for mild aches and pains. If your doctor/dentist tells you to take paracetamol, it’s because the pain you’re complaining for mild. Paracetamol is only harmful to your liver if you ingest more than what the liver can process at a given time. That’s why 1g of oral paracetamol over 4 hours is the recommendation, because your liver can process this amount of paracetamol under the given time without any risk of severe damage.
Nothing to do with abuse as mentioned below, can be a source of accidental overdose and a way some people commit suicide via paracetamol overdose.
Very easy to overdose (>200mg per KG bodyweight) causes significant liver damage and is a highest cause of liver failure in the western world.
https://www.rch.org.au/clinicalguide/guideline_index/Paracet…
500mg tablets, recommended dose is 1000mg or 2 tablets. Assume 75kg adult, they would need to take more than 30 tablets. That is not accidental.
So is water
It's medication FFS.
If you're old enough to buy medication you're old enough to know its risks.Here's a hint, if someone really wanted to OD on paracetamol they wouldn't wait for a special to come up in order to do so.
Unless of course financial hardship is the reason…
These are normally only $1 or so more. Supermarket brand paracetamol is like 65 cents and 48 should be enough - costs 30 cents more. So no, that point isn't exactly valid.
Unfortunately about 50 percent of paracetamol poisoning is not premeditated but is an acute reaction to a situational crisis. There is quite a bit of research showing that limiting amount in the home reduces poisoning. My son works in Woollies and they are more responsible than this lot.
Maybe not the forum but have seen too many patients die.My wife has cancer and I have chronic headaches. We use Panamax like it’s lollies. You saying we shouldn’t have access to a medication that works because someone MAY have a waaa waaa. 4Q.
Not that I want to encourage any kind of voluntary OD but, for the love of god, please don't ever OD on paracetamol. If you do, you'll feel ill, then get better. Then you'll realise that you have just caused yourself total liver failure. Then you'll spend the next week or so suffering the consequences, reflecting on your choices until you eventually die.
It’s a great way to ensure you’ll die… though it’ll take weeks and weeks, cause you immense pain and suffering and be totally irreversible. Buggered livers are loads of fun. Yay
Despite the downvotes, you're right. Some other countries restrict the sale of these to quite low quantities. In the UK the most you can buy is 16 tablets (32 in a pharmacy). https://patient.info/doctor/paracetamol-poisoning
It's a long, slow, painful death. Those that choose to end their lives using paracetamol often have several, horrible days to reflect on their decision.
The risks should be more widely known, but price and availability do little to change that. I'll be nipping out and picking up a pack or two.
I just dont understand why people like 100 Tablets each post gets so many upvotes,who eats that much before expire date?
ah too be young
My dentist recently advised I take paracetemol when I had an abscess. The pharmacist said I can get like 100 of these for $1 or 10 paradol for $5 (approx.). I know I'll never need them but had to go with the 100 for $1. Probably the next time I'll need to take one will be in about 5 years and they will be expired or something. What was the other option though? Pay more money for less pills, I wouldn't use the 10 either!
Get 20 for $0.69 at Aldi or $0.70 at Woolies ;-)
Chemist is next door to denist, by the time I drive to Aldi or Woolies I spent more on fuel haha
Are people only buying for themselves or do they have a family?
Some people have health conditions (or kids) that cause headaches or maybe some other pain. The expiry date of my last 69 cent Panamax purchase was approx 2 years from the date of purchase, so one tablet per week would use it in time. If you take 4 a week, then you're done in 6 months. Some people take 2 - 4 per day.
It's also good to have it on hand in case a child (or adult) gets a fever. 69 cents for a 2-year just-in-case policy isn't bad. Also good to keep some at work (for when we get to go back) and some at home.
Indeed on a bad day I can smash 8 tablets
Do that once a month and yeah
Wonder if paracetamol can be chemically transformed into something else? For inquisitory purposes of course
people that seek to do this would never understand the complex science anyways
Nothing of particular use unfortunately
I have no respect for people who pay for Panadol brand
Not a real oz-bargainer. Must use shopback to purchase these too.
panadol is:
smaller
doesn't leave a residue in packaging
more variety
And isn't expensive
Panadol is $12.99 for 100 tablets, compared to $2.49 for Panamax even when it's not on sale, so clearly Panadol is expensive and if you don't think so, you should relinquish your OzBargain licence.
For infant toddler liquid one can't find anything else with easier dosage
Incorrect. MANY brands do liquid paracetamol at prices well below “Panadol” in the same doses. But hey, you do you
Out of box on the shelf not sure
Wife's Xmas present sorted… thanks…
Wife's Xmas present snorted…
Ftfy
This is what I need to swallow all the guilts of overspending this year lol
Amazing deal!! Now to try and grab 5 packets.
Usually 2 max
Near me they have a limit of 2 or 3 per store, so buy 2 or 3 at each of the stores, of which there are about a dozen in the general area. Thanks for posting Op!
Nice deal, and if someone doesn’t like any kind of medication this link might help. https://youtu.be/82ShSNuru6c
Nice, qualifies for massive paracetamol overdose 50g (500mg x 100), just a medical fact.
Yes if you take them all at once, just like a bottle of whisky will probably give you alcohol poisoning if you drink it all in one go.
Yep
We all need to keep our options open!
I'm getting a headache just thinking about how awesome this deal is!
let your psudoscience (profanity) off
want to link to any of this so called research instead of talking shit?
"Just an opinion from the research" if it is research why is it "just an opinion"
The paper is about whether using paracetamol before a Hep B vaccination (instead of after) cause the vaccine to be less effective.
Drawing some extremely broad conclusions with a pretty small brush…
I know it's just an anecdote, but I almost never take any pills and my immune system isn't the best. Wife often takes headache pills etc, never really gets sick (like a cold or flu, more than a day anyway).
In any event the thing that's helped my immune system greatly has been being outside and getting vitamin d levels up.
I think the issue with COVID was a casual link with NSAID use and anecdotal evidence which showed NSAID use prior/during contracting COVID-19 significantly worsened outcomes.
This theory/observation is been thoroughly disproved.
Just an excerpt from the above journal- "Our study showed, in accord with earlier studies published by Prymula et al. [15], that exposure to paracetamol can suppress immune function to antigens derived from bacterial and viral pathogens, and this might have consequences for resistance to infectious agents. The effects noted were modest, but modest suppression on a population basis may have considerable consequences as has been noted with exposure to environmental pollutants inducing similar levels of immune suppression [16]–[18]."
Look I am not saying paracetamol is bad or anything, I am only saying let your own system fight through a small fever and cold and that's it and that's why I cautiously used words "unless you need it really badly".
In saying, I also would like to say a little fever is not bad for your health nor a little cold, they also help improve your immune system. You can do your own research on this and come for a debate.
I’ve never bothered taking paracetamol, there’s more downsides including the fact it’s a pill and is not good for your organs.
177+319 data points (people) is not a robust enough dataset. The study shows at best a casual link, but still well within the bounds of statistical anomalies. Though it’s a well thought out premise and execution.
Thankyou for bothering to research your position and back yourself with an actual study, it’s nice when someone has real intelligence.
Apologies if I come off harshly discouraging!
I find that this brand takes longer for the effects/relief to be felt, compared to the more expensive panadol.
Same active ingredient.. What you are experiencing is likely a placebo effect
Same active ingredient yes BUT difference in ingredient quality and manufacturing process determines absorption rate and efficacy.
Buy panadol rapid and compare it against this product and I bet you 100% you will see (feel) the difference in effect time.
It's still a placebo you are experiencing and I'm not talking about panadol rapid but if the placebo works for you then that's good
@qkr: Hey Mate, I saw a comment of yours about the xm4's and the popping sound. I too also have this issue after a few months.
I got mine from JBHIFI and wish to get a refund. Just wondering if you got a refund from them or sony? The issue occurs after a few hours so I have no idea how jb is going to recreate the issue to get what I am saying. Just want to do it as painless as possible.
Cheers!
Breakfast sorted
come in handy with all the booze bargains lately
don't mix paracetamol with booze.
If you're drinking, or have drunk recently take ibuprofen or aspirin instead.
alcohol+paracetamol=no goodalcohol and most other drugs don't mix: antibiotics, psilocybin mushrooms (so I've heard)
Good time to stock up, only got several boxes left - thanks op!
God bless this country. $0.69 for 100 tablets of pain relief.
great timing
These will almost certainly be limited to only two or three per customer.
I used to buy these BUT they’re no longer Australian made😔
Made in PRC?
Made in India. I don't know where you can find Australian-made paracetamol any more. Panadol (GlaxoSmithKline) doesn't disclose the country of manufacture on their packaging, so you can be sure it's not Australia.
Yeah, the Woolworths ones used to say they're Australian Made until recently, but now it's India too
Is that not compulsory to tell where it's made from how panadol get away with that??
