What is Paracetamol used for?

Paracetamol acts as a centrally acting analgesic and antipyretic, useful across common pain and fever pathways. - Fever: reduces elevated body temperature. - Headache: alleviates tension‑type and mild migraine pain. - Musculoskeletal pain: eases aches from strain or minor injury. - Dental pain: provides relief after dental procedures. - Cold and flu symptoms: helps control associated aches and fever.

What are the side effects of Paracetamol?

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

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild stomach upset. - Skin rash: occasional mild erythema. - Elevated liver enzymes: transient laboratory changes. - Dizziness: occasional light‑headed feeling. - Headache: paradoxical occurrence.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe liver injury: risk with overdose or chronic high dosing. - Stevens‑Johnson syndrome: rare severe skin reaction. - Blood disorders: aplastic anemia or thrombocytopenia in very rare cases. - Hypersensitivity: anaphylaxis or angioedema. - Renal impairment: uncommon acute kidney injury.

What precautions apply to Paracetamol?

Paracetamol should be used with awareness of specific safety considerations. - Dose limitation: do not exceed the maximum daily amount recommended by a healthcare professional. - Liver disease: avoid or use only under medical supervision if hepatic impairment exists. - Alcohol consumption: limit intake as combined use increases hepatotoxic risk. - Pregnancy and breastfeeding: consult a clinician before use. - Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25 °C, retain in 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): - Warfarin: may enhance anticoagulant effect, increasing bleeding risk. - Isoniazid: combined use can raise risk of liver injury.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Rifampicin: may reduce paracetamol plasma levels, diminishing analgesic effect. - Carbamazepine: can increase hepatic metabolism, lowering efficacy. - Alcohol: concurrent heavy use raises hepatotoxic potential. - Certain antiepileptics (e.g., phenytoin): may alter metabolism, requiring monitoring.
