Paracetamol injection
Paracetamol injection is a medication used for the management of pain and fever. It contains the active ingredient acetaminophen, which is commonly known as paracetamol.
Mechanism of Action: Paracetamol works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins in the brain, which are chemicals involved in the transmission of pain signals and the regulation of body temperature. By reducing prostaglandin levels, paracetamol helps to alleviate pain and reduce fever.
Indications: Paracetamol injection is used for the treatment of mild to moderate pain and fever. It is often administered in situations where oral administration is not feasible, such as when a patient cannot swallow pills due to illness or surgery.
