Paracetamol is a painkiller. It will also bring raised temperatures
(fever).Paracetamol has been in use as an analgesic for home medication for over 30 years and is well accepted as a very effective treatment for the relief of pain and fever in adults as well as children. The following information about Paracetamol is provided by the Paracetamol Information Centre. Paracetamol is also known as acetaminophen.
Paracetamol relieves pain and fever in adults and children, and is the most widely accepted medicine for this purpose. It is used mainly for the pain relief properties either as a medicine prescribed by a doctor or it can be purchased as an over-the-counter medication both in retail pharmacies or grocers shops.
There are mostly no groups of people who should not take Paracetamol and interactions with other treatments are hardly ever a problem.
When taken at the recommended dosage, there are never side-effects.
Its pain relief (analgesic) and fever relief (antipyretic) effects are similar to those of aspirin and works in a similar, though not identical, way. Unlike aspirin increasing the dose does not result in clinically useful anti-inflammatory activity. Paracetamol is therefore not of value for reducing inflammation in the treatment of chronic rheumatic diseases as are the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin. Nevertheless, Paracetamol does provide pain relief and is considered the first line treatment in osteoarthritis.
Paracetamol can be combined with decongestant ingredients and help relieve the symptoms of the common cold, influenza and sinusitis by relieving headache, general aches, nasal congestion and fever.
Paracetamol and its combinations are mainly available in tablets for immediate consumption or for dissolving in water before consumption. It is suitable for all ages including the very young for whom it may be used following immunization procedures and it is available in liquid formulations for young children.
