Kruidvat (Paracetamol)

Paracetamol works by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins in the central nervous system, primarily through blocking the COX‑3 enzyme. This reduces the formation of chemicals that signal pain and raise body temperature, providing analgesic and antipyretic effects without strong peripheral anti‑inflammatory activity.

The appropriate dose of Kruidvat Paracetamol is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, weight, and clinical condition. Patients should follow the dosage instructions on the product label or those provided by their doctor or pharmacist.

Paracetamol is classified as Category B for pregnancy, indicating that it is generally considered safe when used at the recommended dose and only if the benefit outweighs any potential risk. It is also excreted in breast milk in small amounts, and short‑term use is usually regarded as compatible with breastfeeding, but consultation with a healthcare provider is advised.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com with the required quantity. GNH India supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams across international markets, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including any cold‑chain requirements) and the necessary import documentation.

Compared with non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), paracetamol provides effective pain relief and fever reduction without the gastrointestinal irritation or platelet inhibition associated with NSAIDs. However, it lacks significant anti‑inflammatory activity, so for conditions where inflammation is a major component, an NSAID may be preferred.

Kruidvat Paracetamol should be stored at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C, in its original packaging to protect it from moisture and light. Keep the product out of reach of children and do not use it after the expiry date printed on the label.

Kruidvat Paracetamol is taken orally, usually with a glass of water. The tablet should be swallowed whole and not chewed or crushed unless the product label specifically permits it. Dosing intervals and total daily dose should follow the instructions provided by a healthcare professional.

The most serious risks include severe liver injury, especially with overdose or chronic high dosing, and rare but life‑threatening skin reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. Patients should avoid exceeding the recommended maximum daily dose and seek immediate medical attention if they notice signs of liver dysfunction or severe skin rash.

Individuals with known hypersensitivity to paracetamol or any of the tablet excipients should avoid it. Patients with severe liver disease, chronic alcohol misuse, or those taking medications that strongly interact with paracetamol (e.g., certain anticoagulants) should consult a healthcare professional before use.
