What is Paracetamol?
Active Ingredients: Paracetamol
Paracetamol Injection is a drug used for the short-term relief of mild to moderate pain. Injections are typically given when a patient is unable to take the oral form of this medication, such as after surgical procedures. An intravenous route is also recommended for emergency situations like hyperthermia.
This medication may also be used to reduce fever in adults or children.
Paracetamol belongs to the groups of medications called analgesics (pain relievers) and antipyretics. It shows a strong ability for 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 acetaminophen. It is a first-line therapy for pain conditions, as recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO).
