Saridon

Have you ever used Saridon before? Do you know what it is and what it is used for? Look at this video I found on You Tube...  

Now do you know what Saridon is for? Saridon is a pain killer and it is popular in the Visayas and Mindanao areas. It is mostly embraced by the masses for pain, mainly because of  its very affordable price. Although there have already been lots of warnings about the product's side effects from many newspaper columnists, people still buy them. Columnists researched and wrote that Saridon is not safe, and vigilantly cites Saridon's previous formula which contains phenacetin, as well as its new formulation that contains propyphenazone which can have negative side-effects to its users.  Users never stopped using just because these columnists wrote about them that way.  Another point that was cited is the fact that Saridon is only made available in the Visayas and Mindanao. Why is it only available in these areas? That and many other reasons bring about doubt as to the product's thrust.


I learned that Bayer is the company that manufactures Saridon and they have the following said:

“Bayer HealthCare-Consumer Care would like to assure the public that its Paracetamol, Propyphenazone, Caffeine (Saridon Triple Action) is clinically proven safe and effective pain relief against headache, muscle pain and toothache. Saridon Triple Action has been duly approved by the Food and Drug Administration of the Philippines.”

Well, if that is so, then Bayer should disseminate info about the nature and scope, as well as all necessary information about Saridon so everyone will know about it. At least, if their product is really safe, they should have existing data to counter doubts or at least give people the central idea, pros or cons about the product. Even I, who lives here in Mindanao is not familiar with it until I read a few blog posts about it. When I asked friends in Manila if there is Saridon there, all they could answer is also a question of What is Saridon? And well, this post is my attempt to answer that for them.. further research is required..
