What is Paracetamol?

Paracetamol, the active ingredient in Paracetamol Ovaal Kruidvat, is a non‑opioid analgesic and antipyretic presented as a tablet for oral use. It is commonly used to relieve mild to moderate pain and reduce fever in adults and children.

GNH USA supplies Paracetamol Ovaal Kruidvat as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

What is Paracetamol used for?

Paracetamol acts as an analgesic and antipyretic across several common conditions: - Headache: provides relief from mild to moderate pain associated with tension‑type or migraine onset. - Fever: reduces elevated body temperature in viral or bacterial infections. - Musculoskeletal pain: eases discomfort from strains, sprains and minor joint aches. - Dental pain: alleviates pain following dental procedures or toothache. - Menstrual cramps: helps lessen cramping discomfort during menstruation.

What are the side effects of Paracetamol?

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

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild stomach upset that may occur after dosing. - Rash: transient skin redness or itching. - Elevated liver enzymes: mild, reversible changes in liver function tests.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Hepatotoxicity: severe liver injury, especially with overdose or chronic high‑dose use. - Stevens‑Johnson syndrome: rare severe skin reaction. - Anaphylaxis: immediate hypersensitivity requiring emergency care. - Blood disorders: rare cases of agranulocytosis or thrombocytopenia.

What precautions apply to Paracetamol?

Paracetamol should be used with awareness of several safety considerations: - Liver function: avoid use in patients with severe hepatic impairment or active liver disease. - Alcohol consumption: limit intake as combined use increases risk of liver injury. - Concomitant medications: review other products containing paracetamol to prevent accidental overdose. - Pregnancy and lactation: use only under medical advice, especially in the third trimester. - Children: ensure appropriate dose form and strength for age and weight. - Store below 25°C: keep in the original packaging, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

What does Paracetamol interact with?

Paracetamol can interact with other medicines, requiring attention to dosage and monitoring:

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Warfarin: increased anticoagulant effect may raise bleeding risk. - Isoniazid: combined use can enhance hepatotoxic potential.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Antiepileptics (e.g., carbamazepine, phenytoin): may reduce paracetamol plasma levels. - HIV protease inhibitors: potential alteration of metabolism increasing toxicity risk. - Oral contraceptives: may slightly increase hepatic enzyme activity affecting drug clearance.

Frequently asked questions

What is Paracetamol Ovaal Kruidvat used for?+

Paracetamol Ovaal Kruidvat is a generic paracetamol tablet that provides pain relief and reduces fever. It is commonly used for headaches, musculoskeletal aches, dental pain, menstrual cramps and fever associated with infections. The product is intended for oral administration in adults and, when appropriately dosed, in children.

How does paracetamol work to relieve pain and fever?+

Paracetamol works by inhibiting central cyclo‑oxygenase enzymes, which lowers prostaglandin production in the brain. This reduces the hypothalamic set‑point for temperature, producing an antipyretic effect, and modulates pain‑transmission pathways, providing analgesia without significant peripheral anti‑inflammatory activity.
