PARACETAMOL contains Paracetamol, an analgesic (pain killer) and antipyretic (reduces fever). It inhibits the production of certain chemical messengers in the brain known as prostaglandins. Thus, reduces pain. Also, PARACETAMOL affects an area of the brain that regulates body temperature known as the hypothalamic heat-regulating centre. Thereby, it reduces fever.
Take PARACETAMOL as advised by your doctor. Your doctor will recommend how often you need to take PARACETAMOL based on your medical condition. In some cases, PARACETAMOL may cause side effects such as nausea, stomach pain and dark coloured urine. Most of these side effects of PARACETAMOL do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to PARACETAMOL or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. PARACETAMOL is not recommended for children below 6 years of age. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please consult a doctor before using PARACETAMOL. Avoid alcohol consumption with PARACETAMOL as it may increase the risk of liver damage. If you have an impaired nutritional state caused by anorexia (eating disorder), malnutrition or alcohol abuse or if you are dehydrated, inform your doctor before taking PARACETAMOL.
