Reasons of using caffeine with Paracetamol:
Caffeine is a mild stimulant that helps reduce fatigue. Caffeine is used in this product to increase the pain relieving
effects of acetaminophen. Caffeine is claimed to enhance the efficacy of paracetamol.1
However, peak plasma levels and extent of absorption are similar for paracetamol with caffeine and paracetamol alone.1
Compared with paracetamol alone, a person taking the combination of paracetamol with caffeine may be more likely to experience adverse effects than to get improved analgesia.
Published trials have assessed the effect of combining caffeine with paracetamol compared with paracetamol alone in conditions including tension-type4 and non-migrainous headaches5, postoperative pain6,7, uterine cramping6 and primary dysmenorrhoea.
