Paramol 1000 Mg 20 Tablets

Description:

Paramol 1000 mg 20 tablets is a pain relief and fever-reducing medicine containing paracetamol (acetaminophen) as the active ingredient. It is classified as a non-narcotic analgesic and antipyretic, commonly used to relieve mild to moderate pain and reduce high temperature in adults. Paramol 1000 mg works centrally in the brain by inhibiting cyclo-oxygenase enzymes, raising the pain threshold and acting on the thermoregulatory center in the hypothalamus to lower fever. Manufactured by Misr, this product is suitable for short-term management of headache, toothache, musculoskeletal pain, menstrual pain, and fever associated with colds and flu, when used according to medical advice.

Indications:

• Relief of mild to moderate pain such as headache, tension headache, and migraine attacks.
• Relief of musculoskeletal pain, back pain, joint pain, and muscle aches.
• Reduction of fever associated with common cold, flu, and other infections.
• Pain relief in conditions such as acute gout (as part of symptomatic management, as directed by a doctor).
• Toothache and dental pain relief.
• Dysmenorrhea (menstrual pain) relief.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Paracetamol (acetaminophen) – 1000 mg per tablet.
• Excipients: Other inactive ingredients (tablet base, binders, fillers, coatings) – exact composition and concentrations , please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Adults and adolescents (as per physician recommendation): Typically 1000 mg (1 tablet) up to 3–4 times daily, with a maximum total daily dose not exceeding 4000 mg (4 g) of paracetamol from all sources. Always follow your doctor’s instructions and the package insert.
• Swallow the tablet whole with a sufficient amount of water. Do not crush or chew unless advised by a healthcare professional.
• Can be taken with or without food. Taking with food may help reduce gastric discomfort in sensitive individuals.
• Maintain at least 4–6 hours between doses. Do not exceed the recommended dose or frequency.
• Not recommended for children unless specifically prescribed by a doctor and with an appropriate pediatric dosage form.
• Do not use for more than 3 days for fever or 5 days for pain without consulting a healthcare professional.
• If you are taking other medicines containing paracetamol, ensure the total daily dose of paracetamol from all products does not exceed the maximum recommended limit.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides effective analgesic action by raising the pain threshold and reducing the perception of pain.
• Offers strong antipyretic effect by acting on the thermoregulatory center in the hypothalamus to lower elevated body temperature.
• Suitable for a wide range of common pain conditions, including headache, migraine, toothache, and musculoskeletal pain.
• Non-narcotic analgesic, so it does not cause dependence when used as directed.
• Generally well tolerated at recommended doses compared to many other analgesics, making it suitable for short-term use in many patients.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Do not use if you are allergic to paracetamol (acetaminophen) or any of the other components of the product.
• Contraindicated in severe liver impairment or active severe liver disease due to the risk of hepatotoxicity.
• Use with extreme caution in patients with liver disease, chronic alcohol use, malnutrition, or dehydration. Chronic excessive ingestion of alcohol potentiates the hepatotoxicity of paracetamol.
• Do not exceed the recommended dose. Overdose of paracetamol can cause serious, potentially fatal liver damage. Seek immediate medical attention in case of suspected overdose, even if you feel well.
• Consult your doctor before use if you have liver disease, kidney disease, chronic alcohol consumption, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, or other serious medical conditions.
• Drug interactions: Cholestyramine may reduce absorption of paracetamol; activated charcoal administered immediately can reduce absorption; domperidone and metoclopramide can enhance absorption of paracetamol. Inform your doctor about all medicines you are taking.
• Avoid concomitant use with other products containing paracetamol to prevent accidental overdose.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or breastfeeding. Use only if clearly needed and under medical supervision.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease beyond its approved indications.
• Keep out of reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion or overdose.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects are generally rare at recommended doses but may include nausea, vomiting, mild stomach upset, or rash.
• Allergic reactions such as skin rash, itching, swelling of the face or throat, or difficulty breathing may occur. Discontinue use and seek immediate medical attention if signs of allergy appear.
• Serious but rare side effects include liver dysfunction or liver failure, especially with overdose or prolonged use at high doses. Symptoms may include loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dark urine, or yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice). Seek urgent medical help if these occur.
• Very rare blood disorders (such as thrombocytopenia, leukopenia) have been reported with paracetamol use. Consult your doctor if you notice unusual bruising, bleeding, or persistent infections.
