It doesn’t take long to see the benefits of Herron over other paracetamol brands; the distinctive green and gold ‘Made in Australia’ logo is a shining beacon that lures many job conscious consumers, and bargain hunters often don’t overlook the reduced price.

Whether or not you are swayed by their clever advertising in providing ‘effective relief from pain’ is of little consequence, a cheaper price tag and boost to the local economy is all the advertising the company needs.

In the world of consumerism and product competition these basic fundamentals seem to be lost on many companies; you give someone the exact same product at a cheaper price and you’ll move boxes off shelves faster than earthquakes.

However the needs of the aged care industry are distinct from regular household standards, and when dealing with the ageing population certain requirements need to be adhered to.

Firstly, size and shape is extremely important, and secondly the ability to work with other medications is paramount.

Herron delivers on both of these requirements.

To be perfectly honest, I see no reason as to why this shouldn’t be on the top of every consumers paracetamol list: price wise, it is a first class product that is excellently priced, and it contains the same ingredients as its competitors.
