Description
Paracetamol tablets in blister packaging from the UK are a common over-the-counter medication used to relieve pain and reduce fever. Paracetamol, also known as acetaminophen, belongs to the class of analgesics and antipyretics.
It works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins in the brain, substances responsible for pain and fever, thereby providing symptom relief without significant anti-inflammatory effects.
The tablets are available in various strengths, commonly 500 mg per tablet, and are taken orally.
Typical adult dosage is 500 mg to 1000 mg every 4 to 6 hours, not exceeding 4 grams (4000 mg) in 24 hours to avoid toxicity.
Common side effects are rare but may include allergic reactions or skin rash. Paracetamol should be used with caution in individuals with liver impairment or chronic alcohol use due to the risk of liver damage at high doses. It generally has few interactions with other medications but should not be combined with other products containing paracetamol to prevent overdose.
