What is Paracetamol used for?
Used to relieve mild to moderate pain (headache, toothache, back pain, muscle aches) and to reduce fever. One of the most widely used medicines in India, available without prescription.
How does it work?
Paracetamol reduces fever by acting on the temperature-regulating centre in the brain. It reduces pain by blocking the production of prostaglandins — chemicals that cause pain sensation.
