What is Paracetamol used for?

Paracetamol is used to manage pain and fever by acting on the central nervous system.

- Pain: provides rapid analgesic relief in acute and postoperative settings. - Fever: lowers elevated body temperature by resetting the hypothalamic set‑point. - Post‑operative pain: alleviates discomfort after surgical procedures. - Acute migraine: helps reduce headache intensity. - Dental pain: diminishes pain associated with dental interventions.

What are the side effects of Paracetamol?

Paracetamol may be associated with a range of adverse reactions, varying from mild to severe.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: occasional gastrointestinal upset. - Injection site pain: discomfort at the infusion site. - Rash: mild skin eruption. - Elevated liver enzymes: transient increase in hepatic markers.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe hepatotoxicity: potential liver failure with overdose. - Anaphylaxis: rare severe allergic reaction. - Stevens‑Johnson syndrome: rare severe skin disorder.

What precautions apply to Paracetamol?

Paracetamol requires careful consideration in several clinical situations.

- Dose adjustment in hepatic impairment: reduce dose or avoid in severe liver disease. - Avoid in known hypersensitivity to paracetamol: discontinue use immediately. - Monitor liver function tests: especially with prolonged therapy. - Use with caution in renal impairment: adjust dosing as needed. - Concurrent use with other hepatotoxic drugs: increase risk of liver injury. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in original container, protect from light and moisture.

What does Paracetamol interact with?

Paracetamol can interact with several medications, necessitating monitoring.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Concurrent use with other paracetamol‑containing products: risk of overdose. - Co‑administration with strong CYP450 inducers (e.g., rifampicin): may reduce efficacy. - Combination with warfarin: may increase bleeding risk.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Alcohol consumption: enhances hepatotoxic potential. - Use with other hepatotoxic agents (e.g., isoniazid): monitor liver function. - Concurrent NSAIDs: may increase renal risk.
