Paracetamol is used to manage symptoms in the pain and fever pathways. - Pain: provides relief of mild to moderate acute pain such as headache, toothache, or musculoskeletal discomfort. - Fever: reduces elevated body temperature associated with infections or inflammatory conditions. - Headache: alleviates tension‑type or migraine‑associated headache symptoms.

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

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild stomach upset that may resolve without treatment. - Abdominal discomfort: transient pain or fullness in the stomach area. - Rash: skin redness or mild itching. - Elevated liver enzymes: mild, reversible changes in laboratory tests.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Hepatotoxicity: severe liver injury, potentially leading to failure, especially with overdose. - Stevens‑Johnson syndrome: rare severe skin reaction with blistering and detachment. - Anaphylaxis: immediate hypersensitivity reaction causing breathing difficulty and shock.

When using Paracetamol, certain precautions should be observed to minimize risk. - Assess liver function: avoid use in patients with severe hepatic impairment or active liver disease. - Limit alcohol intake: concurrent alcohol can increase risk of liver toxicity. - Use lowest effective dose: reduces potential for adverse effects while achieving symptom control. - Monitor in children: dose must be calculated by weight and age, following pediatric guidelines. - Store at room temperature: keep in the original packaging, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Paracetamol may interact with other medicines, affecting its safety or efficacy.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Alcohol: combined use heightens risk of liver damage. - Warfarin: may enhance anticoagulant effect, increasing bleeding risk. - Carbamazepine: can reduce paracetamol plasma concentrations, lowering effectiveness.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Phenytoin: may decrease paracetamol levels, requiring dose adjustment. - Rifampicin: induces metabolism, potentially reducing analgesic effect. - Oral contraceptives: may experience reduced contraceptive efficacy, advise additional protection.
