What is Paracetamol?

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

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

What is Paracetamol used for?

Paracetamol is an analgesic and antipyretic that acts on the prostaglandin pathway to manage pain and fever.

- Pain: provides relief of mild to moderate pain such as headache, toothache, and musculoskeletal discomfort. - Fever: lowers elevated body temperature associated with infections or other causes. - Post‑operative discomfort: helps control pain after minor surgical procedures.

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: skin redness or mild itching. - Elevated liver enzymes: transient changes detected in blood tests. - Headache: occasional mild headache. - Dizziness: brief sensation of light‑headedness.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Hepatotoxicity: severe liver injury, especially with overdose. - Stevens‑Johnson syndrome: rare severe skin reaction. - Anaphylaxis: life‑threatening allergic response. - Blood dyscrasias: rare cases of agranulocytosis or thrombocytopenia. - Hypotension: uncommon drop in blood pressure. - Renal impairment: rare kidney function decline.

What precautions apply to Paracetamol?

When using Paracetamol, consider the following safety measures.

- Dosage: follow prescriber or label instructions; do not exceed recommended daily amount. - Liver disease: use with caution in patients with hepatic impairment. - Alcohol consumption: avoid excessive alcohol to reduce risk of liver toxicity. - Allergy: discontinue if signs of hypersensitivity such as rash or swelling appear. - Pregnancy and breastfeeding: consult a healthcare professional before use. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

What does Paracetamol interact with?

Paracetamol may interact with other medicines; some combinations require avoidance while others need monitoring.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Alcohol: combined use increases risk of liver damage. - Warfarin: may enhance anticoagulant effect, raising bleeding risk. - Carbamazepine: can reduce paracetamol effectiveness by increasing metabolism.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Isoniazid, phenytoin, phenobarbital: may alter paracetamol metabolism, requiring dose adjustment. - Rifampicin: may increase hepatic clearance, lowering therapeutic levels. - Oral contraceptives: may experience reduced contraceptive efficacy; monitor for breakthrough bleeding.

Frequently asked questions

What is Paracetamol Mercury Pharmaceuticals Ltd used for?+
Paracetamol Mercury Pharmaceuticals Ltd is an over‑the‑counter analgesic and antipyretic used to relieve mild to moderate pain such as headache, toothache, and musculoskeletal discomfort, and to reduce fever associated with infections or other causes.
How does paracetamol work in the body?+
Paracetamol works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes in the central nervous system, which reduces the production of prostaglandins. This action lowers the pain threshold and resets the hypothalamic set‑point for temperature, providing analgesic and antipyretic effects without significant anti‑inflammatory activity.
What is the usual dose of paracetamol?+
The appropriate dose of paracetamol is determined by a prescriber or according to the product label. Dosage depends on factors such as age, weight, and clinical condition, and should never exceed the maximum daily limit recommended for the specific formulation.
Is paracetamol safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Paracetamol is generally considered compatible with pregnancy and breastfeeding when used at recommended doses, but a healthcare professional should be consulted before use to evaluate individual risk factors and ensure appropriate dosing.
How do I order Paracetamol Mercury Pharmaceuticals Ltd from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com specifying the required quantity. GNH USA supplies hospitals, pharmacies, and procurement teams worldwide, and will request trade or institutional credentials before providing pricing, availability, shipping details, and any necessary import documentation.
How does paracetamol compare with other analgesics?+
Paracetamol differs from non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) by lacking significant anti‑inflammatory activity and having a lower risk of gastrointestinal irritation. It is often preferred when NSAIDs are contraindicated, but it does not provide the same level of anti‑inflammatory effect as ibuprofen or naproxen.
What are the recommended storage conditions for this product?+
Paracetamol should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Keep the product away from moisture, direct sunlight, and heat sources to maintain its stability and potency.
How is paracetamol administered?+
Paracetamol is administered orally, typically as a tablet, capsule, or liquid formulation. It should be taken with or without food, according to the prescriber's instructions, and the dose should be measured accurately if a liquid form is used.
What are the most serious risks associated with paracetamol?+
The most serious risk is hepatotoxicity, which can occur with overdose or in patients with pre‑existing liver disease. Rare but severe reactions include Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, anaphylaxis, and blood dyscrasias. Prompt medical attention is required if any serious symptoms develop.
Who should not use paracetamol?+
Paracetamol should be avoided by individuals with known hypersensitivity to the drug, severe liver impairment, or those who have consumed excessive alcohol. It should also be used with caution in patients taking other hepatotoxic medications or those with certain metabolic disorders.
