Uses of Paracetamol 500 mg Tablet

Paracetamol 500 mg Tablet is used to bring down fever and to relieve mild to moderate pain such as headache, migraine, toothache, muscle and joint aches, back pain and period pain. It is also commonly used to ease the aches and fever that come with colds, flu and viral infections, and is often the first choice for fever in children when a child-strength product is used.

How Paracetamol 500 mg Tablet works

Paracetamol works mainly in the brain, where it reduces the production of chemical messengers called prostaglandins that signal pain and raise body temperature. Unlike many other painkillers it is gentle on the stomach, but it has little effect on swelling and inflammation.

Possible side effects

Paracetamol 500 mg Tablet rarely causes side effects when used correctly. Uncommon side effects can include:

• Skin rash or itching
• Nausea
• Allergic reactions (rare)

Taking more than the recommended amount can cause serious liver damage, sometimes without early symptoms. If too much has been taken, seek medical help immediately even if you feel well.

Precautions and warnings

• Do not take more than the dose written on the pack or advised by your doctor, and leave the recommended gap between doses.
• Check other medicines, including cold and flu remedies, for paracetamol so you do not take it twice.
• Ask your doctor before use if you have liver or kidney disease, are underweight, or drink alcohol regularly.
• Use a children’s strength product for children and follow the dose for their age or weight.
• If fever lasts more than three days or pain continues, see a doctor.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
