8 Panadol Alternative Medicines You Can Buy in Pakistan

The over-the-counter (OTC) medication paracetamol is widely used and in high demand due to the increase in dengue and coronavirus cases and waterborne illnesses brought on by the monsoon floods, is currently in very short supply in Pakistan. Here are some Panadol Alternative Medicines.

As a result, there is a national Panadol scarcity, and people are searching for alternatives as it is getting harder to find the medication.

GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), a major pharmaceutical company in Pakistan, produces paracetamol under the trade name \”Panadol.\”
Due to its sudden shortage, people are frantically looking for substitute brands that manufacture the same medicine under other names.

Here is the list of Panadol Alternative Medicines pediatric dosage in Pakistan.

Brand Name Manufacturer Dosage (mg) Retail Price
Calpol Pediatric (90 ml) GSK 120mg/5ml Rs. 46
Askprol Askari Pharma 120mg/5ml Rs. 15
Paracetamol (450ml) Ferozsons Pharma 120mg/5ml Rs. 56
Pracmol (60 ml) Glitz Pharma 120mg/5ml Rs. 25

Experts believe that Panadol\’s excessive demand, which has hindered production, is the main cause of the current scarcity.

According to journalist Ali Khizar, GSK produces more than 450 million Panadol tablets each month. The corporation has reduced output to a minimum since its manufacturing costs are higher than the Maximum Retail Price (MRP) established by the government, leading to its scarcity.
