Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) 170mg Suppositories
SKU GME386
Product Introduction
Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) 170mg is a rectal paracetamol suppository used for pain or fever for rectal dosing treatment. It may be useful when oral medicine cannot be taken because of vomiting, swallowing difficulty, or a child-specific dosing plan. Paracetamol reduces pain and fever but does not treat the underlying cause of fever and does not reduce inflammation like NSAIDs.
How to use
Use Paracetamol (Acetaminophen) 170mg rectally exactly as prescribed or per label. Do not combine with other paracetamol products unless dosing has been checked. Dose should be based on age and weight when relevant.
How it works
Paracetamol acts mainly in the central nervous system to reduce pain signaling and fever-regulating pathways.
Common side effects
Side effects are uncommon when used correctly but may include nausea, vomiting, stomach discomfort, rectal irritation, rash, or allergy. Serious concerns include liver injury after overdose and severe skin reactions.
