Common uses:
For fever and pain relief.

Paracetamol is a medicine that is used for mild to moderate pain and fever in adults and children. Paracetamol is often used in people who cannot take anti-inflammatories (e.g. due to stomach ulcer), as it is gentle on the stomach.

Paracetamol is less likely than anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) to cause worsening of asthma or an asthma attack.

For children, paracetamol is the most commonly prescribed medicine to reduce a high temperature or for pain relief.

It works by blocking the making of prostaglandins (pros-ta-glan-dins) which can cause pain (including headaches), fever (high temperature), and inflammation (swelling and redness).
Paracetamol is available in tablets, capsules, soluble tablets, children's mixtures and suppositories.

Paracetamol is an ingredient in:

    * Many cold and flu tablets
    * Cold and flu drinks e.g. Lemsip
    * Some cough mixtures
    * Combination pain relievers, e.g. Digesic, Panadeine, Codcomol, Pirophen
    * Some migraine tablets e.g. Paramax

Paracetamol is also known as acetaminophen.

Usual dose:

    * Adults: 500mg — 1000mg every four hours — but no more than 4000mg (eight 500mg tablets) per day.
    * Children 1-5 years old: 120mg-250mg every four hours — but no more than 4 doses per day (24 hours).
    * Children 6-12 years old: 250-500mg every four hours — but no more than 4 doses per day (24 hours).
    * Children under 1 year: check with your doctor or pharmacist.

The mixtures for children usually come in 120mg/5ml or 250mg/5ml. Take care that you use the correct amount according to the strength of the mixture.

Side effects:

Side effects are rare and include skin rashes, other allergy symptoms and blood disorders. It is thought that chronic abuse of paracetamol may cause kidney problems.

Overdose:

Liver damage — seek emergency medical treatment immediately, even if there are no symptoms. It is very important to keep paracetamol tablets or mixtures well out of the reach of children to prevent overdose, as you should with all medicines.

Paracetamol is an ingredient in a number of medicines for pain, or colds and flu. If taking paracetamol in one medicine, make sure you don't take other medicines also containing paracetamol.
