Elena Pintado, Head of Pain at Haleon, talking about the new research uncovering how Australians choose to treat and manage pain. In line with National Pain Week (22 July – 28 July 2024), new research sheds light on how Australians choose to manage their pain, with seven in ten (72%) Australians opting for paracetamol as their first choice for pain relief. A staggering 93% of Australians having reported suffering from everyday pain in 2023, and of those, 43% said they experienced this pain daily. The new research commissioned by Haleon Australia shows that when treating and managing everyday pain, over three-quarters (78%) of Australians typically use paracetamol. While, 7% of Australians choose to not use any pain relief products at all, preferring to wait it out.
