What is it used for?
Paracetamol 250 mg is used to reduce fever and relieve mild to moderate pain, such as headache, body pain, toothache and muscle aches.
How does it work?
It reduces the production of chemicals involved in pain and fever, helping to lower body temperature and relieve pain.
How to take/use it
Take it by mouth exactly as directed on the product label or by a doctor or pharmacist. Do not take more than recommended, and avoid using other medicines that also contain paracetamol.
Common side effects
Usually none when used at the recommended dose. Nausea or a skin rash may occur.
Precautions
Do not use more than the recommended amount, as overdose can cause serious liver damage. Consult a doctor before use if there is liver disease, regular heavy alcohol use, or use of other paracetamol-containing medicines. Stop use and seek urgent medical help for swelling, breathing difficulty, or a severe skin reaction.
