Paracetamol Tablets 500 mg

Paracetamol Tablets 500 mg is a widely used over-the-counter analgesic and antipyretic medication. It is effective in relieving mild to moderate pain and reducing fever by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis in the central nervous system and regulating the hypothalamic heat-regulating center. Paracetamol is commonly prescribed for headaches, muscle pain, arthritis, toothache, menstrual cramps, and fever associated with infections. Its well-established safety profile and minimal gastrointestinal side effects make it a preferred choice for pain and fever management.
