2. Pharmacology:

Temper Extra combines Paracetamol and Caffeine.

  • Paracetamol provides analgesic and antipyretic effects with mild anti-inflammatory activity.

  • Caffeine, a xanthine derivative, enhances the absorption and action of Paracetamol by increasing solubility and transmembrane permeability.

  • Caffeine also raises the pain threshold, improves alertness, and constricts dilated blood vessels in the brain—helpful in relieving headache and migraine.

3. Dosage & Administration:

  • Adults: 1–2 tablets every 4–6 hours as needed.

    • Maximum dose: 8 tablets in 24 hours.

  • Children: Not recommended for children under 12 years.
