When pain or fever disrupts your daily routine, you quickly lose your natural balance and energy.

Teva Paracetamol 500mg Suppositories offer this targeted and gentle support. As your trusted partner in health, VitAdvice helps you monitor the well-being of your entire family, with products that combine comfort and effectiveness when you need it most.

Key benefits

• Effective relief: Supports the body in reducing fever and reliably soothes various types of pain such as headaches, muscle pain, and toothache.
• Stomach-friendly alternative: Excellent for individuals who have difficulty swallowing tablets or suffer from a sensitive stomach.
• Constant dosage: Each suppository contains a precisely measured dose of 500 mg of paracetamol for controlled and even support.

How it works

The active ingredient paracetamol in these suppositories is absorbed directly into the body via the intestinal wall. This ensures a fast and effective action without the active substances having to pass through the stomach first. This makes the suppository an extremely comfortable and reliable choice in case of nausea or swallowing difficulties. Due to the gradual absorption, the product provides a stable basis for relieving discomfort, so that your body gets the rest it needs for a natural recovery.
