Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) 125mg/250mg is a commonly used analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer) medication. It works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation, particularly in the brain. It is typically used to relieve mild to moderate pain, such as headaches, toothaches, muscle aches, or menstrual cramps, and to reduce fever. Paracetamol is often preferred for pain relief in individuals who cannot tolerate non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), as it has fewer gastrointestinal side effects. It is important to follow the recommended dosage to avoid the risk of liver damage from excessive use.
