Panadol (Paracetamol)

Paracetamol works by inhibiting central cyclo‑oxygenase enzymes, especially COX‑3, which lowers prostagtablet of prostaglandins in the brain. This action reduces the hypothalamic set‑point for temperature and dampens pain‑signal transmission, providing relief without strong peripheral anti‑inflammatory effects.

The appropriate dose of Panadol is determined by a prescriber or according to the product label, taking into account the patient’s age, weight, and clinical condition. Patients should follow the recommended dosing instructions and not exceed the maximum daily amount without medical advice.

Paracetamol is generally considered compatible with pregnancy and lactation when used at the lowest effective dose for short periods. However, pregnant or nursing individuals should consult their healthcare provider before taking Panadol to confirm that it is appropriate for their specific situation.

To order Panadol, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any required import documentation.

Compared with non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen, Panadol provides analgesic and antipyretic effects without significant anti‑inflammatory activity or gastrointestinal irritation. It is often preferred when NSAIDs are contraindicated, but it lacks the anti‑inflammatory benefits of those agents.

Panadol tablets should be stored below 25 °C in a dry place, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep the medication in its original packaging until use and ensure the container is tightly closed to maintain product stability.

Panadol is administered orally. Tablets are swallowed whole with water, and the formulation is designed for rapid absorption from the gastrointestinal tract to provide timely pain relief and fever reduction.

The most serious risk of Panadol is hepatotoxicity, which can occur with overdose or chronic high‑dose use, potentially leading to liver failure. Rare severe reactions include Stevens‑Johnson syndrome and anaphylaxis, which require immediate medical attention.

Individuals with known hypersensitivity to paracetamol, severe liver disease, or those taking other medications that may cause additive liver toxicity should avoid Panadol unless directed by a healthcare professional. Children under the recommended age for the specific tablet strength should also not use it.
