Paracetamol is an analgesic and antipyretic used to treat pain and fever.

- Mild to moderate pain: provides relief from headaches, toothaches, musculoskeletal discomfort. - Fever: reduces elevated body temperature associated with infections. - Post‑operative pain: helps manage discomfort after minor surgical procedures.

Paracetamol is generally well tolerated, but adverse reactions can occur.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild stomach upset may be experienced. - Skin rash: occasional mild erythema or itching. - Elevated liver enzymes: transient changes detectable in blood tests. - Headache: paradoxical headache in rare cases.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe skin reactions: Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis. - Hepatotoxicity: acute liver injury, especially with overdose or chronic high dosing. - Blood disorders: agranulocytosis or thrombocytopenia. - Anaphylaxis: rare but potentially life‑threatening allergic response.

Paracetamol should be used with caution in specific populations and conditions.

- Hepatic impairment: adjust dose or avoid use in severe liver disease. - Alcohol consumption: limit intake to reduce risk of liver injury. - Chronic use: monitor liver function during prolonged therapy. - Pregnancy and lactation: consult healthcare professional before use. - Children: ensure appropriate dose based on weight and age. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture and heat.

Paracetamol may interact with several medicines, requiring attention to avoid adverse outcomes.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Alcohol: combined use increases risk of hepatotoxicity. - Other hepatotoxic drugs (e.g., isoniazid, valproate): may amplify liver injury. - Warfarin: paracetamol can potentiate anticoagulant effect, increasing bleeding risk.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Carbamazepine: may reduce paracetamol plasma levels, decreasing efficacy. - Phenobarbital: induces metabolism, potentially lowering therapeutic effect. - Oral contraceptives: may increase risk of liver enzyme elevation. - Rifampicin: enhances hepatic metabolism, possibly reducing analgesic effect.
