Product Overview
Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) is one of the world's most widely used analgesic and antipyretic medications. It is the first-line treatment for mild to moderate pain and fever, recommended by WHO for all age groups.
Paracetamol's precise mechanism involves central COX inhibition and modulation of the endocannabinoid system. Unlike NSAIDs, it has minimal anti-inflammatory activity but an excellent safety profile with fewer gastrointestinal side effects.
