What Experts Say
Paracetamol works mainly in the brain, where it lowers the activity of enzymes involved in pain and temperature regulation. This central action explains why it reduces fever and pain without significantly affecting inflammation in the rest of the body, unlike NSAIDs such as ibuprofen.
Physicians in Pakistan generally advise a maximum of four grams of paracetamol per day for healthy adults, spaced at least four to six hours apart. This ceiling exists because the liver can only safely process a limited amount of the drug at a time, and exceeding it raises the risk of serious liver injury.
Paracetamol overdose remains one of the more common causes of acute liver failure reported in hospitals across Pakistan, often from combining multiple cold and flu products that each contain the drug. Doctors recommend checking every medicine label for hidden paracetamol content before adding an extra dose for pain or fever.
