Description

Paracetamol is a pain-relieving and fever-reducing medication that is widely used around the world. It is available over the counter and by prescription. Paracetamol works by blocking the production of certain chemical messengers in the body that cause pain and inflammation. It is safe and effective for treating mild to moderate pain, and headaches, and reducing fever. It is available in various forms including tablets, capsules, and liquid suspensions. When taken as directed, Paracetamol is a safe and effective option for managing pain and reducing fever.

Paracetamol 500mg Capsules are designed to be swallowed whole with a glass of water. The recommended dosage is two capsules. It's important to allow at least a four-hour interval between doses and to refrain from exceeding more than four doses within a 24-hour period.
For Children Aged 10 to 15 Years:
When necessary, children in this age group can take one capsule every four to six hours. Just like with adults, the maximum daily dosage should not exceed four doses.
