What Experts Say

Paracetamol lowers fever by acting on the brain's temperature control center and relieves mild to moderate pain. Adding a small amount of lignocaine numbs the injection site, which makes the shot more comfortable for the patient. This makes the injection more tolerable for children and adults who are already anxious about needles.

Doctors usually reserve this injection for situations where a patient cannot take tablets, such as after surgery, during severe vomiting, or when a fast drop in temperature is needed. It is given into the muscle by a trained health worker. It is not meant for routine use at home and should never replace regular oral paracetamol for everyday fevers or mild pain.

Overuse of paracetamol injections can strain the liver, so doctors calculate the dose carefully and space out repeat injections. Patients with liver disease or those who drink alcohol regularly need extra caution before receiving this medicine. Patients on other paracetamol containing cold and flu products should avoid this injection to prevent an accidental overdose.
