Paracetamol is an analgesic and antipyretic that works on the prostaglandin pathway to alleviate pain and fever. - Mild to moderate pain: provides relief for headache, toothache, musculoskeletal discomfort and menstrual cramps. - Fever: lowers elevated body temperature associated with infections or inflammatory conditions. - Cold and flu symptoms: eases aches, pains and fever that accompany upper respiratory infections.

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

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild stomach upset that may accompany dosing. - Abdominal discomfort: occasional stomach pain or indigestion. - Rash or mild skin irritation: transient erythema or itching. - Elevated liver enzymes: mild, reversible changes in laboratory tests. - Headache: occasional recurrence of headache after use.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Hepatotoxicity: severe liver injury, especially with overdose or chronic high‑dose use. - Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis: rare severe skin reactions. - Blood dyscrasias: agranulocytosis or thrombocytopenia in very rare cases. - Anaphylaxis: acute allergic reaction with breathing difficulty and swelling.

Paracetamol should be used with attention to specific safety considerations. - Pregnancy: avoid use in the third trimester due to potential fetal harm. - Liver disease: use only under medical supervision, as impaired hepatic function increases toxicity risk. - Alcohol consumption: limit intake, as combined use raises the chance of liver injury. - Age: adjust dosing for children and the elderly; follow prescriber guidance. - Allergy: discontinue if hypersensitivity reactions such as rash or swelling occur. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

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

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Warfarin: may increase anticoagulant effect and bleeding risk. - Alcohol: concurrent use can potentiate hepatotoxicity.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Carbamazepine: may reduce paracetamol efficacy by increasing metabolism. - Isoniazid: combined use can heighten liver toxicity. - Phenobarbital: may increase paracetamol clearance, lowering therapeutic effect.
