What is Paracetamol?

Paracetamol, the active ingredient in Paracetamol Baxter, is an analgesic and antipyretic presented as a tablet for oral use. It relieves mild to moderate pain and reduces fever in adults and children.

GNH USA supplies Paracetamol Baxter as a licensed, GDP-compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

What is Paracetamol used for?

Paracetamol acts on the prostaglandin pathway to alleviate pain and lower fever. - Fever: reduces elevated body temperature. - Headache: alleviates pain associated with tension‑type headache. - Musculoskeletal pain: provides relief from mild to moderate pain such as backache, toothache and menstrual cramps.

What are the side effects of Paracetamol?

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

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild gastrointestinal upset. - Abdominal discomfort: occasional stomach pain. - Rash: transient skin irritation. - Elevated liver enzymes: mild, reversible changes. - Headache: paradoxical occurrence in some users. - Dizziness: occasional light‑headed feeling.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Hepatotoxicity: severe liver injury, especially with overdose. - Stevens‑Johnson syndrome: rare severe skin reaction. - Blood dyscrasias: aplastic anemia or thrombocytopenia. - Hypersensitivity reactions: anaphylaxis or angioedema. - Renal impairment: acute kidney injury in susceptible individuals. - Methemoglobinemia: very rare blood disorder.

What precautions apply to Paracetamol?

Paracetamol should be used with caution in specific situations. - Assess liver function: avoid use in patients with severe hepatic impairment. - Avoid alcohol: concurrent intake increases risk of liver toxicity. - Use lowest effective dose: minimizes potential adverse effects. - Monitor in children: dose must be weight‑based and supervised. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture.

What does Paracetamol interact with?

Paracetamol can interact with several medicines, requiring attention to avoid harmful effects.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Alcohol: synergistic hepatotoxicity. - Warfarin: may enhance anticoagulant effect, increasing bleeding risk. - Carbamazepine: enzyme induction can reduce paracetamol plasma levels.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Isoniazid: potential additive liver enzyme elevation. - Phenytoin: may lower paracetamol effectiveness through increased metabolism. - Oral contraceptives: may increase risk of liver enzyme abnormalities.

Frequently asked questions

What is Paracetamol Baxter used for?+

How does paracetamol work?+
Paracetamol works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes in the central nervous system, which reduces the synthesis of prostaglandins. Lower prostaglandin levels decrease the perception of pain and reset the hypothalamic temperature set‑point, providing analgesic and antipyretic effects without significant peripheral anti‑inflammatory activity.
What is the usual dose of Paracetamol Baxter?+
The dosage of Paracetamol Baxter is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s age, weight, and clinical condition. It is important to follow the healthcare professional’s instructions and not exceed the recommended maximum daily amount.
