Paracetamol 500mg Tablets
SKU GME588Product Introduction
Paracetamol 500mg relieves mild-to-moderate pain and reduces fever. It is an analgesic and antipyretic, with little peripheral anti-inflammatory effect compared with medicines such as ibuprofen.
How to use
Take with water, with or without food. Use the interval and maximum total daily amount appropriate to body weight and liver risk; include all cold, flu and combination analgesic products in that total.
How it works
Central effects on prostaglandin signalling reduce pain perception and lower the temperature set point during fever.
Side effects
Side effects are uncommon at usual exposure, but rash and serious allergic or skin reactions can occur. Overdose can severely damage the liver.
Important information
Regular heavy alcohol use, liver disease, low body weight and prolonged poor nutrition can change the safe limit. Possible overdose needs urgent care even if the person feels well.
Uses
- Fever
- headache
- toothache
- muscular and other mild-to-moderate pain
Benefits
Provides pain and fever relief without the same stomach-irritation profile as many NSAIDs.
Is 650mg simply interchangeable with 500mg?
No. The amount per tablet differs, so the number of tablets and cumulative daily amount must be recalculated.
Does it reduce swelling as well as ibuprofen?
Usually not. Paracetamol has limited anti-inflammatory action.
Can cold-and-flu medicines be taken alongside it?
Check for paracetamol or acetaminophen in their ingredients to prevent duplicate dosing.
What if I accidentally exceed the intended amount?
Obtain emergency advice immediately; treatment is time-sensitive even before liver symptoms appear.
Does it cure an infection causing fever?
No. It controls symptoms while the underlying illness may need separate treatment.
Can it affect warfarin treatment?
Repeated regular use can increase the anticoagulant effect; the prescriber may need INR monitoring.
Should I take extra when pain relief wears off early?
Do not shorten the recommended interval; persistent pain needs assessment rather than extra doses.
Which skin symptoms need urgent review?
Blistering, peeling skin, mouth sores or a rapidly spreading rash requires immediate assessment.
