- Paracetamol is a para-aminophenol derivative, non-opioid, and nonsalicylate.
- Paracetamol has analgesic, antipyretic properties and weak anti-inflammatory activity.
- Paracetamol produces central and peripheral analgesia by elevation of the pain threshold and inhibition of prostaglandin biosynthesis; antipyretic action through action on the hypothalamic heat-regulating center, resulting in peripheral vasodilatation, increased blood flow through the skin, sweating and heat loss.
- Paracetamol is readily absorbed orally and rectally, the initial rapid response occurs in less than half an hour and within 2 hours peak levels are achieved.
