Paracetamol acts centrally to alleviate pain and lower temperature, making it suitable for a range of common conditions. - Headache: relief of tension‑type or mild migraine pain. - Fever: reduction of elevated body temperature associated with infection or inflammation. - Musculoskeletal pain: alleviation of aches from strains, sprains or arthritis. - Toothache: mitigation of dental pain during or after procedures. - Menstrual cramps: easing of dysmenorrhea‑related discomfort.

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

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild stomach upset after ingestion. - Abdominal discomfort: transient stomach pain or indigestion. - Rash: skin redness or mild itching. - Headache: occasional worsening of head pain. - Dizziness: brief sensation of light‑headedness.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Stevens‑Johnson syndrome: severe skin reaction requiring immediate medical attention. - Hepatotoxicity: liver injury, especially with overdose or chronic high use. - Blood disorders: rare cases of agranulocytosis or thrombocytopenia. - Severe allergic reaction: anaphylaxis with breathing difficulty. - Neutropenia: marked reduction in neutrophil count.

Paracetamol should be used with awareness of specific safety considerations. - Assess liver function: avoid in patients with severe hepatic impairment. - Avoid alcohol: concurrent use increases risk of liver injury. - Use lowest effective dose: limit total daily intake to recommended maximum. - Monitor for allergic reactions: discontinue if rash or swelling develops. - Store at ambient temperature below 25°C: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture.

Paracetamol can interact with several medicines, requiring attention to dosage and monitoring.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Alcohol: heightened risk of hepatotoxicity. - Warfarin: potential enhancement of anticoagulant effect. - Isoniazid: increased likelihood of liver toxicity.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Carbamazepine: may reduce paracetamol efficacy. - Phenobarbital: may increase paracetamol metabolism. - Rifampicin: may increase clearance, lowering therapeutic effect.
