Pharmacology

Paracetamol produces analgesic effects by increasing the pain threshold through inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis in the central nervous system. Its antipyretic action occurs by acting on the hypothalamic heat-regulating center, resulting in reduced fever through peripheral vasodilation and sweating. Unlike NSAIDs, paracetamol has minimal peripheral anti-inflammatory activity, making it suitable for pediatric use when administered correctly.

Dosage should be based on age and body weight and followed strictly as prescribed by a physician.

• Children up to 3 months: 0.5 ml (40 mg)

Do not exceed more than 5 doses daily and do not continue for more than 5 days unless advised by a physician.
