Product introduction
Dart Tablet is a pain-relief combination that brings together paracetamol, propyphenazone and caffeine in a single dose. Paracetamol and propyphenazone both work to ease pain and lower fever, while caffeine is added to sharpen their effect and counter the drowsiness that pain can sometimes bring on. This three-way combination is generally reached for when a single painkiller alone is not giving enough relief from headaches, toothaches or general body aches. Because it combines three active ingredients, it should be taken strictly at the dose and frequency a doctor or pharmacist recommends.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place below 25°C, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
