✔️ Pharmacology

Paracetamol has analgesic and antipyretic properties, and its anti-inflammatory activity is weak. Paracetamol (acetaminophen) is believed to act mainly on the central nervous system, increasing the pain threshold by inhibiting two isoforms of cyclooxygenase COX1, COX2, and COX3, which are involved in the synthesis of prostaglandin (PG). Paracetamol is a derivative of p-aminophenol, has analgesic and antipyretic effects, and has weak anti-inflammatory activity. Paracetamol is one of the most widely used, safest, and quick-acting analgesics. It is well tolerated and does not have various aspirin side effects.
