What is Paracetamol used for?

Paracetamol B.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild stomach upset after infusion. - Injection site discomfort: transient pain or irritation at the IV site. - Transient hypotension: brief drop in blood pressure during administration. - Rash: mild skin redness or itching. - Elevated liver enzymes: mild, reversible increase in hepatic markers.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Anaphylaxis: severe allergic reaction requiring immediate medical attention. - Stevens‑Johnson syndrome: rare severe skin reaction. - Hepatotoxicity: significant liver injury, especially with overdose or pre‑existing liver disease. - Blood dyscrasias: rare cases of agranulocytosis or thrombocytopenia. - Severe hypotension: prolonged low blood pressure needing intervention.

Paracetamol B. Braun is an intravenous formulation of paracetamol used to provide rapid relief of mild to moderate pain and to lower fever when oral administration is not possible or practical.
