Mechanism of Action
Paracetamol exerts its analgesic and antipyretic effects by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis in the CNS and acting on the hypothalamic heat-regulating center, which:
- Reduces pain perception in the central nervous system
- Lowers body temperature during fever
- Has minimal anti-inflammatory activity compared to NSAIDs
- Exhibits a favorable safety profile when used within therapeutic doses
