The product meets European Union pharmacopeial standards and is manufactured under strict Good Manufacturing Practice guidelines.

What is Paracetamol used for?

Paracetamol acts centrally to relieve pain and reduce fever across several common conditions. - Pain: alleviates mild to moderate pain such as headache, toothache, and musculoskeletal discomfort. - Fever: lowers elevated body temperature associated with viral or bacterial infections. - Osteoarthritis pain: provides symptomatic relief of joint pain in osteoarthritis. - Post‑operative pain: helps manage mild postoperative discomfort.

What are the side effects of Paracetamol?

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

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild stomach upset or queasiness. - Skin rash: mild erythema or itching. - Dizziness: transient light‑headedness. - Elevated liver enzymes: mild, reversible changes in liver function tests.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Stevens‑Johnson syndrome: severe skin reaction requiring immediate medical attention. - Hepatotoxicity: liver injury, especially with overdose or chronic high‑dose use. - Anaphylaxis: rare allergic reaction with breathing difficulty or swelling. - Blood disorders: rare cases of thrombocytopenia or neutropenia.

When using Paracetamol, certain precautions help minimize risks and ensure safe use. - Dose limitation: do not exceed the recommended daily maximum of 4 g in adults. - Liver disease: adjust dose or avoid use in patients with severe hepatic impairment. - Alcohol consumption: limit alcohol intake as combined use increases liver toxicity risk. - Renal impairment: use with caution in patients with reduced kidney function. - Pregnancy and breastfeeding: consult a healthcare professional before use. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in original packaging, protect from moisture and heat.

Frequently asked questions

What is Paracetamol Cristers used for?+
