Panadol Osteo

Completely ineffective – I stopped taking these recently, having been on the maximum dose for years for osteoporosis-arthritic pain in knees and hips. There was no absolutely no change to my pain level. Then I noticed that the diarrhea I’d experienced for years suddenly stopped. Check the data for the significant known potential side-effects. All medications carry risks. Show details

Shaken not stirred – After x rays my doctor says I have severe OA in both knees. At the end of the day after I have walking for a while I am sore and it's difficult to continue. So have started taking Panodol Osteo as per instructions. Hasn't made any difference. Might try a few dry martinis instead. Show details

New packaging is a joke! – I’ve used Panadol osteo for years and the new packaging is ridiculous - so hard to open. I was taking some yesterday because I was in pain and ended up somehow stabbing the plastic under my finger nail because it’s so hard. Now since yesterday my finger is still bleeding, throbbing and weak. Thanks a lot Panadol I’m in more pain now after taking it than I was before. Cheers for that! Show details

Great for pain relief – Highly recommend for pain, not as strong as opioids, but pretty good. I take 2, 6 hourly. Better than celebrax and neurofen. These are much better than just the usual panadol. Show details

Hard to Open - Panadol Osteo Blister Packs – I have been taking Panadol Osteo on a daily basis for the past few years and I will continue to take them, as I believe they work well. The only objective I have is that it is extremely hard to get the pills out of the latest blister packs. I have "Arthritis" and nearly stab myself trying to get the pills out with a knife each day. The old packs were much easier to use. I could just pop them out. Show details

has really helped, severe osteo arthritis in left foot and ankle – take 6 tablets a day, depending on what chemist you go to, you can by them in a bottle and not in the blister pack, so much easier to use. Show details

Side effects – I used this product for only 3 days. it has caused me very severe constipation that I have never experienced before! it might work very well with others but be aware that it might cause serious constipation. Show details

Doesn’t help at all for hand arthritis – I have extreme pain in my thumbs and wrists from severe osteoarthritis. I have tried taking 6 Panadol Osteo in 24 hours a day and they don’t help at all.  Show details

Be very careful – I have been taking Panadol Osteo for over 10 years for chronic back pain. As I aged I knew I would get all the age old this and that pains and problems but it wasn't till I had two Total Knee Replacements surgery that I woke up to what this drug was doing to me. Every drug I had while going through the recovery of my surgeries I found I was… Read more

rushing to the toilet with chronic diarrhea. So bad that I contemplating suicide. I weened myself of all the drugs that they gave me and I was still no better. So I stopped taking Panadol Osteo, almost immediately my bowel habits were back to normal. I just needed to go through the pain withdrawl slowly and have now got my life back to as normal as possible. Like I said be very careful.

Panadol Osteo – I have found that these tablets really help with the osteo in my lower back. It was so painful I could hardly move but these tablets have enabled me to move around more easily, without pain. I would recommend people with pain to try them but of course, speak to your doctor first. Show details

Ok for mild pain, useless for anything – I was advised that these would help me with nerve pain, they haven't. This product works for very mild pain but does nothing for my nerve pain. Both panadol brand and generic brand work the same Show details

very pleased...! – I take only half a tablet first thing in the morning to help with my left knee anteior cruciate rupture, a injury from 27 years ago...! My whole left leg is becoming stressed all the way to my hip now...! With the panadol Osteo I am able to walk smoother giving me a important advantage.... all day Show details

Panadol oesteo best for neck osteoarthritis – Fantastic product and only thing that gives me pain relief when sleeping at night for neck osteoarthritis that I was diagnosed with 3 yrs ago. Almost normal with no pain during the day whereas used to be almost unbearable. Been taking for two years now 2 in morning and 2 at night. If I don't take them pain starts to come back after 24 hours. … Read more

Highly recommend this product and only thing that has worked for me.

Hate having to take them but but best thing out there for neck oesto arthritis.

Recent research indicates Paracetamol is ineffective in treating arthritis pain – My pain level was 8-9 in my knees and hips. After taking 6 Panadol Osteo 24/7 for 1 decade, it did nothing to alleviate the arthritis pain. Clinical laboratory trials from over 3,000 patients confirmed that paracetamol was ineffective in treating pain for osteoarthritis of the hip and knee. To make it worse, Doctors and Pharmacies are promoting… Read more

Panadol Osteo (heavily advertised) as long lasting pain relief, it isn't. I am now off Panadol Osteo and my pain level is around 10-20, only by taking natural products such as, Glucosamine with Chondroitin, Tumeric (Curcumin) and Magnesium. Also I drink extra fluids, eat lots of vegetables and fish. I am hoping my liver remains healthy after taking 27,930 mg of paracetamol (665 mg) per week for the last 10 years.

All good – I personally don't have a problem with taking Panadol Osteo . I take them 6hrly with a glass of water followed by a warm drink to hurry it into my system for an arthritic knee ... Why don't people take advice from a pharmacist re-dosage instead of "their friends" Panadol Osteo won't get rid of a headache...it's slow release designed for the… Read more

likes of arthritis. .

Professionals are trained to help us..well meaning friends aren't ..sorry !

Then wrong diagnoses gives the product a bad review..

Thanks fof reading

Bad packaging – After using this product for many years for my arthritis , it is very disappointing that the packaging has been changed so that it is even more difficult to get the caplets out of the foil. For a product specifically to help people with arthritis ,it is laughable that they change the packaging so the people they are supposedly helping, find it near on impossible to use.

Panadol osteo works for me – Just started panadol osteo, amazing stuff as I was in alot of pain. Mid to lower back pain. Some neck pain too. But it eased right away after my first dose... The only problem was some stomach pain. And it made me drowsy. But that could have been my Gaul stone. Lol

Doesn't work with Degenerative Disc Disease – These pills are so ineffective, I have taken two every 2 hours over a 36 hour period with absolutely no relief at all. I have not had a single day without pain for over a year, and am currently stuck waiting to see a specialist before my doctor will even consider changing my meds.

Hate arthritis that what i got in my left knee it swollen – the nurse told my dr brow you can take 2 panadol ostero every 4 hour told my brother you only talk one every 6 hour i'm wayne, what is the right amount? thanks i got arthritis in my back and on my left knee i had open heart surgery

Same ol' paracetamol – Nothing special here, just a different dose of overpriced paracetamol, marketed as Panadol. You get 265mg per tablet, instead of 500mg, but are urged to take these less frequently. It is a case of "stronger doses less often" but at a premium price. A waste of money, in my opinion.

Bad packaging – I have used this product for many years now for my arthritis. Since the packaging has changed its to hard to get the tablet from the blister pack. I am now looking for a new product. Very disappointing.

This was Great.First day of taking these .!!I Was In a lot of Pain – Have been recently diagnosed with mild to moderate Osteoarthritis in my knees.Xrays confirmed it.So some physio & some excercise & hopefully I"ll keep on moving.I only got my Panadol osteo tablets today .I thought how many tablets I have after the chemist handed them to me .Three huge boxes,plus Brufen 400mg also three boxes.So I got home today &… Read more

had something to eat,& took two Panadol Osteo & a Brufen tablet.That was around 1.30pm today & my knee pain was 7/10 before.Now I have no pain.Fingers crossed this will help me to manage.

Ughhhhh – Took this stuff 1 hour and 40 mins ago and has done absolutely nothing to subside my period cramps. Still in tears and now just have to wait another 30 mins for the Nurofen Zavance I just took to kick in because I thought I wouldn’t need it.

They ARE working..... but – I just came off 1000mc Naproxine because of a Vertigo attack and am now taking the Panadol Osteo. They are working but I hate that I have to take them every day. Started with 2 but now I find I'll be needing 4. Gut instinct tells me lose some weight (I'm 89k) re hydrate more regularly and get acquainted with more beans and greens. Natural is… Read more

better, I mean taking 4 a day has got to end up doing something wrong. Processed foods are suicide by installment, so I'll get into the more natural lifestyle and see if Panadol Osteo and I can part company :)

New packaging not as good – I find that I only need 4 tabs a day to keep my pain under control and I am very happy with the product. My comment in recent times is that I find the new packaging really difficult to get the caplets out and it hurts my fingers. The previous foil was so much better.

Not Effective – Since Oct. 2017 when I was diagnosed with severe OA in my wrists and after trying several other medications including steroids from my Doc., none of which suited me, I tried Panadol Osteo and at first they took the edge off the arthritic pain in my wrists. My Rheumatologist told me they are safe to take every 6-8 hours, I try to get away with… Read more

taking only 4 tablets/day. Gradually the effectiveness lessened and I stopped taking them when the blister packaging became so difficult, and used Nurofen instead. The Nurofen are no more effective but they are too expensive. Recently I noticed on the package of POsteo 'modified release tablets' and wondered if they'd changed the packaging back. NO, worse if anything and regretting now that I purchased them, they are still difficult to release and they're also too BIG, I nearly gag on them. I may not even take them as they're totally useless.

Got rid of my knee pain – Have been on Panadol Osteo for a while now and have noticed that previous arthritis pain in my knee has disappeared completely. Very happy.l I take two on waking and another two around 7/8 hours later.

A change in packaging but a good product – I have taken Panadol osteo for some time now and I have found it to be effective and helps with joint pain but the packaging has changed and I now find it more difficult to remove the tablet

Change of packaging – The change of packaging has now made it difficult to even get the medication out of the blister pack... Will be looking for an easy alternative, very difficult, thank you.

STROKE SURVIVOR: REGULAR USER OVER MANY YEARS AS DIRECTED BY DOCTORS – I rarely use Panadol Osteo anymore. perhaps just a couple should I develop a headache. I understand that studies show it is only the paracetemol content that help. i prefer now to take pain relief tablets containing tumeric once a day.

Don't seem to do much for me – Take for osteoarthritis many years don't seem to help that muchwith back pain helps a little with neck and wrist and knee pain seem to work in about 2hours but not with my back pain

Works for Me....the best! – Taking these for a few years ..prescription..1 every 8 hours....no issues....they were removed and replaced with another brand, generic....but I found I was taking more Panadol Rapid inbetween....same ingredients on the box...thought I was just crazy...did some research....Back to Panadol Osteo...and all fine again....Yes...not on script...but I want what works...for me.

These are great! – I've had pain in my right knee for about two years. Last month my GP recommended Panadol Osteo and like magic the pain was gone in two days. It no longer wakes me up at night and I feel great!

Might as well eat Lifesavers – I have severe low lumbar back pain and this medication does nothing to alleviate it Show details

This does absolutely nothing for my arthritis pain in my spine and knees – I persisted with this because I have allergy to antinflammitories Show details
