Paracetamol Zentiva (Paracetamol)

Paracetamol Zentiva is an analgesic and antipyretic that acts on the body's pain‑ and fever‑regulating pathways.

• Headache: provides temporary relief of mild to moderate headache pain.
• Fever: lowers elevated body temperature associated with infections or inflammation.
• Musculoskeletal pain: eases minor back, joint or muscle aches.
• Dental pain: reduces discomfort following dental procedures.
• Cold and flu symptoms: alleviates general aches and fever commonly experienced during viral upper respiratory infections.

• Paracetamol reduces fever and relieves pain by inhibiting the cyclo‑cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes in the central nervous system, which decreases prostaglandin synthesis. This action lowers the hypothalamic set‑point for temperature regulation and diminishes the perception of pain without significant peripheral anti‑inflammatory effects.

Paracetamol Zentiva is generally well‑tolerated, but some users may experience adverse reactions.

Common Side Effects

• Nausea: mild stomach upset that usually resolves without treatment.
• Skin rash: occasional mild redness or itching of the skin.
• Elevated liver enzymes: transient increase detected in routine blood tests.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

• Hepatotoxicity: potential liver injury, especially with overdose or chronic high‑dose use.
• Severe skin reactions: such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis.
• Anaphylaxis: rare, potentially life‑threatening allergic response.
• Blood disorders: including thrombocytopenia or agranulocytosis in extremely rare cases.

When using Paracetamol Zentiva, consider the following safety measures:
