NSAID cannot eat long term can lead to kidney issue
Painkiller cannot eat long term. The potency will get weaker with frequent use then needs to upgrade to stronger painkillers with addictive effect. That is why us so many people become addicted to hardcore drugs.

my house kinda stacked w/ Anarex prescribed over the years
but anw .. aren't paracetamols usually comes in round tablets form?

those weird shaped usually not that cheap
me thinks :o
I recently learned from a friend that this kind round tablets are the "cheapest" kind because it's apparently harder to swallow.

This doesn't affect 99% of us, but apparently panadol is easier to swallow because of the shapes, e.g triangle optizorb or the capsule form. Also branded panadol is coated with a thicker layer of wax or something that prevents the bitter taste which some people have gag reflex

For me i still eat the cheapest one because end of the day active ingredient is the same and i don't have swallowing problem

Disintegrate very fast on contact with water or saliva in mouth. Good for dissolve into watery solution for children that cannot swallow tablet. Some cheaper brands vitamin tablets also like this.

There is soluble Panadol. Like soluble Vitamin C, put in water, after a while, it disappears.
