Parakon-650
Product Overview:
Paracetamol 650 mg tablets are widely used for their analgesic (pain-relieving) and antipyretic (fever-reducing) properties. This higher dose formulation is effective in managing moderate pain and reducing fever in various clinical conditions.
Composition:
Paracetamol (650 mg): A commonly used analgesic and antipyretic agent, effective for managing mild to moderate pain and fever. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins in the brain, thereby providing relief.
Uses:
- Fever: Effective for reducing high fever in both adults and children.
- Headache: Commonly used to relieve tension headaches and migraines.
- Muscle Pain: Provides relief from muscle aches, strains, and soreness.
- Osteoarthritis: Alleviates mild to moderate pain in joints due to osteoarthritis.
- Post-operative Pain: Helps manage pain and discomfort after surgical procedures.
Functions:
- Pain Relief: Paracetamol blocks the production of prostaglandins in the brain, which are responsible for pain and inflammation, thereby reducing pain.
- Fever Reduction: Acts on the hypothalamic heat-regulating center to lower body temperature, providing relief from fever without significant anti-inflammatory action.
Dosage and Administration:
The usual dose is one tablet (650 mg) every 4 to 6 hours, with a maximum of four doses (2,600 mg) in 24 hours, or as prescribed by a healthcare professional. It is best taken with or after meals to avoid potential stomach upset.
Precautions:
- Avoid in individuals with known hypersensitivity to Paracetamol.
- Use with caution in patients with liver or kidney disease.
- Not recommended to exceed the prescribed dose as it may lead to liver toxicity.
- Consult a healthcare provider before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Side Effects: Common side effects may include nausea, skin rash, and gastric discomfort. Severe side effects are rare but can include liver dysfunction, allergic reactions, and skin reactions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome in very rare cases.
