Action

Paracetamol acts predominantly by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis in the central nervous system (CNS) and, to a lesser extent, through a peripheral action by blocking pain impulse generation. Paracetamol produces antipyresis by acting centrally on the hypothalamic heat regulating centre to produce peripheral vaso-dilation resulting in increased blood flow through the skin, sweating and heat loss.

Indications

Paracetamol Alkaloid is used for fast pain relief of headaches, including migraine and tension headaches, toothaches, backache, rheumatic and muscle pains, and menstrual pain. It also relieves sore throat and the fever, aches and pains of colds and flu.
