Panadol Night 24 Tablets in Qatar

Panadol Night 24 Tablets is a popular over-the-counter medication designed for nighttime pain relief and to aid
restful sleep. It combines paracetamol (500mg per tablet), a painkiller and fever reducer, with diphenhydramine hydrochloride (25mg per tablet), an
antihistamine that promotes drowsiness. This dual-action formula targets aches that disrupt sleep, such as headaches, back pain, muscle pain, toothache, or cold/flu symptoms, without being a standalone sedative. Visit Truthcare pharmacy for panadol night tablets in Qatar.

Usage Instructions:

• Dosage: Take 1-2 tablets (up to 4g paracetamol daily max) about 20 minutes before bedtime with water. Do not exceed 2 tablets per night or use for more than a few days without advice.
• Best For: Nighttime use only, as diphenhydramine causes drowsiness. Avoid driving or operating machinery the next day if you feel drowsy.
• Warnings: Not for children under 12, pregnant/breastfeeding individuals, or those with liver/kidney issues, glaucoma, or allergies to ingredients. Avoid alcohol, as it increases drowsiness. If pain persists, see a doctor.

FAQ:

Q. Is Panadol Night a sleeping tablet?

A. No, Panadol Night is not primarily a sleeping tablet or sedative. It's a pain relief medication with a mild sleep-aid component. The paracetamol targets
pain and fever, while diphenhydramine (an antihistamine) induces drowsiness to help you fall asleep when pain is the issue. It's not intended for insomnia alone and should only be used at bedtime for temporary relief.

Q. How long does Panadol Night make you sleep?

A. Panadol Night doesn't guarantee a specific sleep duration, as effects vary by individual factors like age, metabolism, and pain level. The diphenhydramine typically causes drowsiness within 20-30 minutes, helping you fall asleep faster, but it doesn't prolong sleep beyond natural rest; expect 4-6 hours of potential drowsiness, similar to other antihistamines. Pain relief lasts up to 4-6 hours. It's not a long-acting sleep aid; if you wake up due to recurring pain, don't re-dose without medical advice. Always use as directed by physician.

Q. What is the half-life of Panadol Night?

The half-life of Panadol Night refers to the time it takes for half of each active ingredient to be eliminated from the body. Paracetamol (500mg) has a half-life of about 1-4 hours (typically 2-3 hours in healthy adults), providing pain relief for 4-6 hours. Diphenhydramine (25mg) has a longer half-life of 4-8 hours (average 5-6 hours), which contributes to prolonged drowsiness that may linger into the next day. Factors like age, liver function, and dosage can affect this—older adults or those with liver issues may experience slower clearance. Do not exceed recommended doses to avoid buildup. For precise medical context, check with a pharmacist.

Q. Can I drive after taking Panadol Night?

No, you should not drive after taking Panadol Night until you know how it affects you, as the diphenhydramine can cause significant drowsiness, impaired coordination, and reduced alertness.
Effects may persist for up to 8-12 hours or longer in some cases, potentially leading to next-day impairment (known as a "hangover" effect). Wait at least 8 hours after your dose before driving, and avoid it entirely if you feel drowsy. In Qatar, road safety laws emphasize not operating vehicles under the influence of sedating medications. Consult local guidelines or a doctor if needed. Opt for alternatives like plain paracetamol for daytime use.
