What is Paracetamol used for?
Paracetamol acts on the prostaglandin pathway to alleviate pain and lower temperature. - Fever: reduces elevated body temperature in acute febrile states. - Mild to moderate pain: eases headache, toothache, musculoskeletal discomfort and dysmenorrhoea. - Cold/flu symptoms: helps relieve discomfort associated with common cold and influenza.
What are the side effects of Paracetamol?
Paracetamol is generally well tolerated, but adverse reactions can occur.
Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild stomach upset after ingestion. - Abdominal discomfort: transient pain or fullness. - Rash or mild skin irritation. - Elevated liver enzymes: usually reversible. - Headache: occasional occurrence. - Dizziness: transient light‑headedness.
Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe liver injury or hepatic failure, especially with overdose. - Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis. - Blood dyscrasias such as agranulocytosis or thrombocytopenia. - Anaphylactic reactions: rare but potentially life‑threatening. - Renal impairment in prolonged high‑dose use. - Hypersensitivity reactions: including angioedema.
What precautions apply to Paracetamol?
Paracetamol should be used with caution in specific clinical situations. - Hepatic impairment: adjust dose or avoid use in severe liver disease. - Alcohol consumption: limit intake to reduce risk of liver toxicity. - Maximum daily dose: do not exceed the recommended total amount from all sources. - Renal impairment: monitor renal function in patients with chronic kidney disease. - Pregnancy and breastfeeding: consult a healthcare professional before use. - Store at room temperature: keep in the original packaging, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.
What does Paracetamol interact with?
Paracetamol may interact with several medicines, requiring attention to avoid reduced efficacy or increased toxicity.
Major Interactions (Avoid): - Concurrent use with other paracetamol‑containing products: risk of overdose. - Strong CYP450 inducers (e.g., rifampicin, carbamazepine): may lower plasma levels. - High‑dose alcohol: potentiates hepatotoxicity.
Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Warfarin: may increase INR and bleeding risk. - Isoniazid: can enhance hepatotoxic potential. - Antiepileptic drugs (e.g., phenytoin): may alter metabolism. - Certain antiviral agents: may affect liver enzyme activity.
