Paracetamol Ab (Paracetamol)

Paracetamol works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes, mainly COX‑2, within the central nervous system. This reduces the formation of prostaglandins that mediate pain and fever. Its action on the hypothalamic heat‑regulation center lowers body temperature, while peripheral anti‑inflammatory activity remains minimal.

The specific dose of Paracetamol Ab is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, weight, clinical condition, and overall health status. Typical adult regimens do not exceed 4 g per day, but exact dosing must follow the prescriber’s instructions.

Paracetamol is generally considered compatible with pregnancy and lactation when used at recommended doses, but it should only be taken after consulting a qualified healthcare provider. The prescriber will weigh potential benefits against any risks to the mother and infant.

The primary alternative to paracetamol is non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen. Unlike NSAIDs, paracetamol has minimal anti‑inflammatory activity and does not irritate the gastric lining, making it preferable for patients at risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. However, NSAIDs may provide stronger anti‑inflammatory effects, while paracetamol carries a lower risk of renal impairment.

Paracetamol Ab tablets should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in their original packaging to protect from moisture and light. Keep the product out of reach of children and avoid storing in areas with high humidity or direct sunlight.

Paracetamol Ab is administered orally. The tablet is swallowed whole with a glass of water. It can be taken with or without food, and the exact timing relative to meals should follow the prescriber’s guidance.

The most serious risks include hepatotoxicity, which can occur with overdose or chronic high‑dose use, and rare severe skin reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. Prompt medical attention is required if signs of liver injury (e.g., jaundice, dark urine) or severe rash develop.

Paracetamol Ab should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to paracetamol or any excipients in the tablet, in patients with severe liver disease, and in those who have already reached the maximum daily dose of paracetamol from other sources. Pregnant or nursing women should only use it under medical supervision.
