Unilab launches reformulated Alaxan XTRA
For years, Filipinos have turned to Alaxan FR when body pain threatens to slow them down. Now, the fast relief they have come to love about the brand has become 3x faster.
Unilab, the country’s leading and most trusted pharmaceutical company, has introduced Alaxan XTRA, a reformulated pain reliever designed to work up to 3x faster absorption vs. Alaxan FR —giving consumers an upgraded solution when everyday body aches and pains get in the way of work, exercise, family responsibilities or simply getting through a busy day.
Body pain is more than just discomfort. It can affect movement, concentration, decision-making and even mood. And in a fast-paced world, the longer it lingers, the more disruptive it can become.
The new formulation combines Ibuprofen Sodium, a form of ibuprofen that is absorbed more quickly by the body as compared to regular Ibuprofen in Alaxan FR, with Paracetamol to help relieve muscle pain, back pain, shoulder pain, sprains and other common body aches.
“Today’s world moves faster than ever and people simply can't afford to let body pain slow them down,” said Alaxan brand manager Angelica Salud. She said the new formulation was developed to provide faster absorption while continuing to deliver the same trusted relief associated with the Alaxan name.
That faster-is-better message came to life during the public launch of Alaxan XTRA at TriNoma, where mall-goers were introduced to the reformulated product through interactive activities, games and product experiences.
Volleyball star Alyssa Valdez joined the launch as a special guest, providing a fitting perspective on the importance of staying active and being able to recover from the physical demands of a fast-moving lifestyle. Valdez, one of the country’s most accomplished athletes, is familiar with how physical discomfort can interfere with training, performance and everyday activities.
“I think the world we live in now is more fast-paced, so I’m excited to see how Alaxan XTRA keeps up with our needs. Hindi na lang simpleng body pain relief kailangan natin. We need it to not just be effective, we need it to be extra fast,” Valdez said during the event.
Alaxan is made by Unilab, a name long associated with quality and safety standards in medicine manufacturing.
For anyone whose day cannot simply stop because of body pain, that difference can matter. Less time waiting for relief can mean getting back sooner to work, exercise, family time or whatever else the day demands.
For Alaxan, the transition to Alaxan XTRA represents a continuation rather than a departure: the familiar pain relief Filipinos have come to know from Alaxan FR, now reformulated to work up to three times faster for the moments when they need it most.
Consumers looking for faster body pain relief can specifically ask for Alaxan XTRA in their trusted drugstores and online stores nationwide. Learn more about it via https://www.unilab.com.ph/products/alaxan-xtra.
