Resolve Extra

How does it work?

This medicine contains three active ingredients, paracetamol, sodium bicarbonate and caffeine. Paracetamol is a medicine used in the treatment of mild to moderate pain. It is also useful for reducing fever. It is not fully understood how paracetamol produces these effects. Sodium bicarbonate is an antacid. It decreases the acidity of the stomach's juices, by binding to and neutralising excess acid. This helps to relieve the symptoms of heartburn and indigestion and settles the stomach. Caffeine is present in this medicine because it is thought to enhance the analgesic effect of paracetamol. The combination of these medicines is used primarily to relieve headaches, including migraine and tension headaches, accompanied by an upset stomach, such as occurs after over-indulgence in food, drink or both. It can also be used to relieve various other types of aches and pains.
