What Experts Say

Paracetamol is one of the most commonly used medicines worldwide for pain and fever. It works mainly in the brain and spinal cord, changing how the body senses pain signals and regulates body temperature, though the exact mechanism is still being studied by researchers.

Unlike NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, Paracetamol does not usually irritate the stomach lining, which makes it a preferred option for people with stomach sensitivity or a history of ulcers. It also does not affect blood clotting the way aspirin does, so it is often chosen before minor procedures.

Doctors caution against exceeding the recommended daily dose, since high doses taken over time or in a single overdose can seriously harm the liver, sometimes needing hospital treatment. People with liver disease or those who drink alcohol regularly should talk to a doctor before regular use of this medicine, and should always check other medicines for hidden paracetamol content.
