Paracetamolo Galenica Senese (Paracetamol)

Paracetamol works mainly by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes in the central nervous system, especially COX‑2. This inhibition lowers the production of prostaglandins that sensitize pain pathways and reset the hypothalamic temperature set‑point, thereby providing analgesic and antipyretic effects.

The appropriate dose is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s age, weight, clinical condition, and any co‑existing health issues. Standard adult regimens typically range from 500 mg to 1000 mg every 4‑6 hours, not to exceed the maximum daily limit, but exact dosing must follow the prescriber’s instructions.

Paracetamol is generally considered compatible with pregnancy and lactation when used at recommended doses, but safety cannot be guaranteed for all individuals. Healthcare professionals should be consulted before use to weigh potential benefits against any risks specific to the mother and infant.

Paracetamol provides analgesic and antipyretic effects without the anti‑inflammatory activity typical of NSAIDs like ibuprofen. It is less likely to cause gastrointestinal irritation or affect platelet function, but it lacks the anti‑inflammatory benefit and may carry a higher risk of liver toxicity at excessive doses or when combined with other hepatotoxic agents.

The product should be stored at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C, in its original packaging to protect it from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep the container tightly closed and out of reach of children.

Paracetamolo Galenica Senese is supplied as an oral tablet. The tablet should be swallowed whole with a glass of water, unless otherwise directed by a healthcare professional. It is intended for oral use only.

The most serious adverse events include hepatotoxicity, which can lead to acute liver failure especially after overdose, severe cutaneous reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis, and rare anaphylactic reactions. Prompt medical attention is required if any of these occur.

Individuals with known hypersensitivity to paracetamol or any excipients in the tablet should avoid it. Patients with severe liver disease, active alcoholism, or those taking other hepatotoxic medications should also refrain from use unless specifically advised by a physician.
