Napa Extra Tablet 500 mg + 65 mg

Napa Extra Tablet combines 500mg Paracetamol and 65mg Caffeine to address multiple pain conditions. Manufactured by Beximco Pharmaceuticals Ltd, it belongs to the Paracetamol + Caffeine therapeutic class. This tablet formulation effectively treats fever, migraines, and musculoskeletal pain while enhancing analgesic action through synergistic components.

Priced at ৳2.50 per unit, it offers cost-effective relief for adults. Each strip (৳30) contains 12 tablets, with bulk packs (11×12) available for ৳330. Proper storage in cool, dry environments preserves efficacy. The caffeine component boosts pain threshold, making it ideal for tension headaches and fatigue-associated discomfort.

Approved for ages 12+, dosage ranges from 1-2 tablets every 4-6 hours (max 8/day). Contraindicated for younger children due to caffeine content. Rare side effects include mild urticaria, though liver risks increase when combined with alcohol or barbiturates. Always consult doctors during pregnancy despite general safety profiles.

As a leading non-opioid analgesic, Napa Extra outperforms single-ingredient alternatives. Its dual mechanism combats both peripheral pain signals and central nervous system fatigue. Patients report faster migraine relief compared to standard paracetamol preparations.

Adults & adolescents (12+ years): 1-2 tablets every 4-6 hours (max 8 tablets/day). Swallow tablet with water. Limit use to 3 days for acute pain without medical advice. Dose adjustment required in hepatic/renal impairment.

Pregnancy Category B: Short-term use considered safe under medical supervision. Caffeine excreted minimally in breast milk – use cautiously during lactation.
