Fast XR 665 mg [Analgesic (Pain Reliever), Antipyretic (Fever Reducer)] contains Paracetamol, which relieves pain and reduces fever by blocking the production of prostaglandins in the central nervous system and acting on the brain’s temperature-regulating centre. Its extended-release formulation provides longer-lasting pain relief compared with immediate-release paracetamol.
Fast XR 665 mg is an extended-release paracetamol tablet used to relieve mild to moderate pain and reduce fever. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as headache, body aches, toothache, musculoskeletal pain, arthritis, and symptoms associated with the common cold. It may be used alone or alongside other medicines as recommended by a healthcare professional.
Take Fast XR 665 mg exactly as prescribed. It can be taken with or without food, although taking it with food may help reduce stomach discomfort. Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split it, as this may interfere with its extended-release action. Avoid taking more than the recommended dose or using it for longer than advised.
Fast XR is generally well tolerated when used correctly. However, some people may experience mild side effects such as stomach pain, nausea, or vomiting. Inform your doctor if these symptoms persist or become troublesome. Before starting treatment, tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney disease, chronic alcohol use, or if you are taking blood thinners or any other medicines that may interact with paracetamol.
