Saridon and Sarimax serve as a reminder how it’s Better Sari than Sorry!

The unkabogable Vice Ganda remains to be one of the country’s busiest and most visible celebrities. She juggles content creation for her highly viewed vlog, shooting for her shows on the Vice Ganda Network, hosting “It’s Showtime!” on a daily basis, not to mention the other roles she plays in her life such as businesswoman, daughter, partner, furmom, a friend to many, and the madam of the house.

Balancing all these while giving her best in everything she does is one big job she needs and wants to fulfill that requires her to be in tip top form.

Admittedly, Vice also has her off days where she does not feel 100% but Vice Ganda makes sure that over the years of experience, she is able to manage the different kinds of pain life throws her way. “Pain is something that will always be a part of life; it’s impossible not to have it. The good thing is, more often than not, there is a way to manage it and feel a little bit more pain-free,” says Vice Ganda. “I believe I’m a strong person emotionally so I am most afraid of physical pain. I may have a low threshold for physical pain,” she adds. 

As Vice put it, be it as it may that a completely pain-free world is impossible to have, Bayer Consumer Health Philippines strives to make this a little bit more attainable through Paracetamol + Propyphenazone + Caffeine (Saridon Triple Action) and Naproxen Sodium (Sarimax). With its latest campaign featuring Vice Ganda, the two pain relieving brands serve as a reminder how it’s Better Sari than Sorry!

Real talk. How many times have you found yourself saying “Sorry” for being unable to do something required of you because of pain? Any form of pain hinders one from delivering daily tasks in the best form and also affects one’s mood. If you live a busy lifestyle just like Vice, 24 hours are sometimes not enough to get things done and so pain is not an option.

Being on the go almost all the time will really tire your body. That’s where body aches, fever, headaches start hitting. Rest is needed but if work or time deprive you of it and you need a quick relief, two brands come to mind. For fast headache relief, there’s Paracetamol + Propyphenazone + Caffeine (Saridon Triple Action) which starts to release in five (5) minutes. It also has Caffeine which when combined with other analgesics like Paracetamol and Propyphenazone, makes the product have a greater analgesic effect. Meanwhile, for long-lasting body pain and arthritis relief, there’s Naproxen Sodium (Sarimax) which provides up to 12 hours pain relief, All Day Strong with twice daily use. It is longer lasting than plain Ibuprofen and Paracetamol. 

Saying “Sorry” because of pain is a thing of the past because it is now Better Sari than Sorry!
