About Paracetamol (Paracip):

Product Type: Pain Medicine

Brand name: Paracetamol Generic name: Paracip Common uses For fever and pain relief. Paracetamol is a medicine that is used for mild to moderate pain and fever in adults and children. Paracetamol is often used in people who cannot take anti-inflammatories (e.g. due to stomach ulcer) as it is gentle on the stomach. Paracetamol is less likely than anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) to cause worsening of asthma or an asthma attack. For children paracetamol is the most commonly prescribed medicine to reduce a high temperature or for pain relief. It works by blocking the making of prostaglandins (pros-ta-glan-dins) which can cause pain (including headaches) fever (high temperature) and inflammation (swelling and redness). Paracetamol is not very good at reducing inflammation but is very effective at reducing pain and fever. It is used both for acute pain (e.g. headache accident) and for chronic pain (e.g. osteo-arthritis). It is sometimes used for cancer pain. Paracetamol is available in tablets capsules soluble tablets children's mixtures and suppositories. Paracetamol is an ingredient in • Many cold and flu tablets • Cold and flu drinks e.g. Lemsip • Some cough mixtures • Combination pain relievers e.g. Digesic Panadeine Codcomol Pirophen • Some migraine tablets e.g. Paramax Paracetamol is also known as acetaminophen.

The mixtures for children usually come in 120mg/5ml or 250mg/5ml. Take care that you use the correct amount according to the strength of the mixture.
