What Experts Say

Paracetamol works mainly in the brain and spinal cord, where it lowers pain signals and resets the body's temperature control center. Doctors consider it one of the safest first line options for everyday pain and fever, including in children and pregnancy when taken at the correct dose.

The main caution is dosing. Adults should not exceed 4 grams in 24 hours, and people should check other cold or flu products for hidden paracetamol before combining doses. Taking more than the recommended amount can seriously damage the liver.

In Pakistan, paracetamol brands like Medimol, Panadol and Calpol are used daily for fever and pain in every household. Doctors still recommend checking with a pharmacist or physician for children's weight based dosing and for anyone with existing liver disease.
