What is Acetaminophen?
Acetaminophen, commonly known as paracetamol, is an over-the-counter analgesic and antipyretic medication used for relieving mild to moderate pain and reducing fever. It works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins in the brain, which are chemicals responsible for inflammation and pain signaling. Acetaminophen is often preferred for patients who require analgesia without the gastrointestinal side effects associated with NSAIDs, although it should be used cautiously to avoid hepatotoxicity, especially in high doses or with chronic use.Side Effects
