Who makes saridon?

The article states that the manufacturer is Roche, where in reality it is Bayer AG. PLease check the link [1].

I will correct the error on the article ... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Szekely janos (talk • contribs) 13:40, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Saridon was introduced by Roche, and was produced by them until the early 2000's, when Bayer purchased all of Roche's OTC drugs - Saridon, Aspro, Berocca, Bepantehn and many others. 121.209.52.159 (talk) 04:30, 7 May 2010 (UTC) Jonathan

One of the problems concerning Saridon is that the same brand name is used in different countries to qualify a different product. For instance, you can buy (or you could buy) Saridon in Italy and in Japan (where I lived almost twenty years) but you wouldn't get the same product: among other things, the Italian one contains paracetamol while the Japanese one contains ethanzamide, an antalgic widely used in Asia and unknown in Europe. So, first of all, let's identify the product this article is supposed to talk about. I can confirm that until around year 2000, Roche and its Japanese associate were the manufacturers of the "Japanese" Saridon (Saridon A), a product much more efficient than any other I have tried to relieve headache. This product is still available in Japan, apparently now manufactured by Daiichi-sankyo Healthcare (www.daiichisankyo-hc.co.jp/). 28 Nov. 2012 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.3.21.41 (talk) 19:00, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

For a quick note: "Saridon" found in China (P.R.) is made by Bayer and uses the article formula (APAP 250, Propy- 150, Caff 50). In Taiwan 200 mg of ethanzamide replaces the propyphenazone (product portfolio); it's also made by Bayer. The Japanese version appears to use ethanzamide and propyphenazone (rakuten global). Yes you are looking at three formulae.

The "A" suffix on the Japanese version appears to be common to many of the Japanese tablets. I know nothing about the language or the pharamaceutical conventions (the damn katakana!), but I guess it's just a convention/regulation status/form sort of thing instead of a part of the brand name? --Artoria2e5 contrib 04:01, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

Article is outrageously promotional; needs a heavy edit

I have a very strong hunch that this article was written by someone associated with the makers of Saridon. It has an extremely advertisement-y feel to it -- not to mention the continued use of the ® symbol following every mention of the brand name. (Definitely not in agreement with MOS:TM.) I have neither the time nor the knowledge to repair it, but it definitely needs work. –The Fiddly Leprechaun · Catch Me! 19:12, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Update: After reviewing article history it seems the editor responsible for most of these changes is Doctorsaridon. –The Fiddly Leprechaun · Catch Me! 19:23, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

This article should be deleted

There is so much misinformation in here, I don't know where to begin. The most responsible thing would be to delete, there isn't a damn thing worth saving. It seems irresponsible that any encyclopeadia would publish this considering it is a topic pertaining to medicine.  :( --Joh — Preceding unsigned comment added by EaggJoh (talk • contribs) 03:56, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
