Paracetamol Teva Group (Paracetamol)

Paracetamol works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes in the central nervous system, mainly COX‑2. This reduces the production of prostaglandins that signal pain and raise body temperature, thereby providing analgesic and antipyretic effects without significant peripheral anti‑inflammatory activity.

The appropriate dose is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s age, weight, and clinical condition. In adults, the total daily amount should not exceed the recommended maximum, and dosing intervals are set by the prescriber.

Paracetamol is generally considered safe for short‑term use during pregnancy and lactation when taken at recommended doses. However, pregnant or nursing individuals should always consult their physician before starting any medication.

The primary alternative to paracetamol is non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen. Unlike NSAIDs, paracetamol lacks significant anti‑inflammatory activity but has a lower risk of gastrointestinal irritation and does not affect platelet function, making it suitable for patients who cannot tolerate NSAIDs.

Paracetamol should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Keep the product away from moisture, direct sunlight and sources of heat. Ensure the container is tightly closed to maintain product stability.

Paracetamol is administered orally. Tablets or capsules are swallowed whole with a glass of water. It can be taken with or without food, and the dosage form is designed for systemic absorption through the gastrointestinal tract.

The most serious risks include acute liver injury, especially when the maximum daily dose is exceeded or combined with alcohol, and severe allergic reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. Patients should monitor for signs of jaundice, rash, or unexplained fatigue and seek medical attention promptly.

Paracetamol should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to the drug, severe liver disease, or those who have experienced serious adverse reactions to paracetamol previously. Caution is also advised for patients taking other hepatotoxic medications.
