The Actions of Paracetamol
Analgesic and antipyretic (that is, it lowers the temperature that has been increased). Does not exert much of an anti-inflammatory effect
Mode of Action
COX-1, COX-2, and the recently discovered COX-3, which is mostly found in the central nervous system, are all targeted for inhibition.
orally administered, with a half-life of two to four hours; liver-inactivated.
Use in clinical settings
Pain ranging from mild to strong, with a severe headache. The most prevalent nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) is this one.
Adverse Effects
There are very few and very uncommon therapeutic dosages. Initially, toxic levels induce nausea and vomiting, and then, twenty-four hours later, they can lead to possibly deadly liver poisoning.
