What is Paracetamol?
Active Ingredients: Paracetamol
Paracetamol Injection (Infusion) is an analgesic drug used for the short-term relief of pain, particularly after surgery or other urgent situations. This medication is also used for the short-term reduction of fever if there is an urgent need (e.g., hyperthermia) or if other treatment options are not possible.
Paracetamol belongs to the groups of medicines called analgesics (pain relievers) and antipyretics. It shows a strong ability of pain management but exhibits weak anti-inflammatory activity. Though it is unclear the exact site of action, the active ingredient may work by either inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis or by activating descending serotonergic pathways.
Paracetamol is also known by the name of "acetaminophen".
This injection has been manufactured as a sterile, single-dose container for intravenous administration. The 100ml vial is appropriate for adults and children over 33kg.
