Paracetamol at a good price
This is the only way that I buy paracetamol for my family. It is great value for money and often on sale at Chemist Warehouse. I have always paid less than $2.50 for 100 tablets.
Purchased in March 2021 at Chemist Warehouse for $1.99.

paracetamol is paracetamol !
Paracetamol is paracetamol and whether you call it Panadol or Panamax both are exactly the same thing. The only difference is that Panadol has a gelatine coating to make it more pleasant to take and Panamax doesn't have the coating. The gelatine coating has no impact on the effectiveness of the paracetamol. So the ONLY difference between the two is the gel coating which is probably responsible for Panadol's the higher price.
Panamax is used by a number of people that I know(including a nurse) in preference to "Panadol" to save money and all get...Read more
the same relief from panamax as they get from Panadol. I know that some people tend to live by the "you get what you pay for" rule and may talk themselves into believing that Panadol is more effective to justify the higher price they are paying, but in reality a dollar is a dollar and 500mg of paracetamol is 500mg of paracetamol whether you call it Panamax or Panadol

Cheap and great
Read the ingredients peoples and stop buying brand names. Panamax is the same as the big brands, just as effective and easily a quarter of the price. No brainer really

Panamax/Panadol
Had open heart surgery and took two Panamax every six hours and it worked like a dream. No pains at all since surgery. Panamax and Panadol have the same ingredients, Paracetamol, the only difference is the coating and packaging.

It's all the same but....
An apple is an apple or pear is a pear Panamax is paracetamol and they're all the same no difference whatsoever but Panamax does not have a coating and is very difficult to swallow often just getting caught in the throat very uncomfortable. It's like swallowing a piece of chalk lol. It's a pity that product couldn't be coated with something to make it easier to swallow I would pay more for that option. But one swallowed it does exactly as you would expect it's paracetamol the functionality of this product is exactly the same as any other products containing paracetamol

Doesn't work
Doesn't work on me or anyone I know of. Missing many ingredients that Panadol optizorb has. Panadol works within 20 mins Panamax never, even our hospital states don't use it, Panamax is a placebo.

good product no harmful side effects
Found the panamax to effective and cheaper than panadol with the same ingredients.

Very happy with panamax many people I know use the same product as me.

No different to panadol
Paracetmals are mostly the same, all work or don't work in same way. I buy panamax as it's cheaper than panadol. If I just have a bit of a headache it does ease it but more severe pain not so much. If I use Panadol brand, it is the same in that way.

Didn't work for me
I get quite severe migraine often and after running out of panadol and nurofen I turned to Panamax to relieve some pain, enough so I could sleep but literally nothing changed. It did not work at ALL even after waiting for an hour for it to "kick in" literally did not relieve any pain. So disappointed.

Simply Paracetamol
This is, as the label indicates, just 500 mg of paracetamol and nothing more.People who say Panadol is better or worse have psychological problems as each are identical !! The power of the Human mind or SOME Human minds What a joke !!

Great!
I've used Panamax since my early teen years and I'm now 26, still using and it still effectively works. Its helped reduce my fever and headaches quicker than panadol and is a lot cheaper than any pain killers I know! ($2 for a pack of 100 tablets from ChemistWarehouse)

Not my go-to pain relief.
There are few things that Panamax is good for - period pain, some headaches. But if you've got muscle soreness or any real inflammation, forget it. It does nothing at all for me most of the time. I'll only take it if it's the only pain relief available.

Not worth the money
Panamax does nothing to stop pain. panadol does. When they made panamax they fogot to put the paracetamol in, this is why they are so cheap. So i am pleased to find that panadol looks after my pain

about average
I used to buy these panamax pain relief tablets on the pharmaceutical benefits scheme as the doctor recommended them and found them to work well though they would sometimes hurt the stomache a little bit though not too bad and they didn't fall apart easily like the cheaper ones they usually sell in the supermarkets though got to make sure have water with them plus they are good priced

I switched to ibuprofen based tablets and capsules for pain relief as these weren't doing the job as well

Has the job done
This is one of the staples in my emergency kit. A generic brand of Panadol, at a fraction of price. The same ingredient and dose as the real Panadol. Yes, it is.
I was first introduced to this "brand" by my GP after I broke my elbow, some years ago, and I had to have lots of tablets a day to calm the pain.
It has always worked for me.
The only downside is that the tablets are not properly coated and are a bit big, so I find them more difficult to swallow than the usual Panadol.
Mind, this is not an antiflammatory, so it won't work if your pain has an inflammatory cause.

So cheap
I went to the pharmacy and asked for my usual 100 pack panadol which cost more than $14 here in my chemist in perth Australia. Discount chemists probably $8. Anyway the chemist convinced me to buy Panamax when she heard me gasp at $14 by saying the Panamax 100 tablet is 99 cents!!! Lol anyways I got two packs and so far they have worked for me. I get a lot of headaches and arthritis pain. Though for severe pain I usually take panadeine forte.
The frighten price of course!!!!! Cost me $1 for a 100 pack!!!!
Nothing wrong with it

Excellent
I was introduced to this when I had a bad soft tissue injury. I used it to relieve headaches & muscle pain at the time. I've since learnt that it treats a huge range of other pain - such as period pain, fever etc.
This is a great cost-effective product. It is so much cheaper than Panadol & works just as well, if not better!! I buy the 100 pack & will never go back to Neurofen or Panadol. Yet again, the famous brand is beaten by a cheaper, equally effective product!
I cannot think of any negative things about this product - it is great!!

This is a cheaper brand of pain killer which I think is not too strong as ibuprofen. It contains the ingredient paracetamol and works effectively for light pain or headaches. It is good value for money and works for me if I feel feverish. A good product which is handy to have in the medicine cabinet at home and also in the handbag for emergencies.
This is a good value for money paracetamol product which can be found at a cheaper price at some chemists. It works for me if my headache is just starting or if my headache is not too severe. I usuall...Read more

Normal panadol and panamax both have the same active ingredient of 500mg paracetamol per tablet. There is no difference other than the cheaper price of panamax. Hope that helps.

How mush can i buy a box of Panamax form the company in Australia?
2 answers
I can't remember how much they were as I usually used to buy 2 packs for one price using the pharmaceutical benefits scheme though if you are looking for specials perhaps you could try chemist warehouse as they have specials often
If you are referring to how many tablets is in the box well its a 100 tablets all up individually sealed in rows on 10 if I remember correctly

The news stated that the federal government wants to take panamax off the federal pharmaceutical scheme so if I need anymore paracetamol I will probably have to pay full price for a pack of 100 tablets
