What Experts Say

Paracetamol reduces fever and pain by acting on the parts of the brain that control body temperature and pain signals. It is one of the most widely used over the counter medicines in the world.

Unlike some other pain relievers, paracetamol does not usually irritate the stomach, which makes it a common first choice for people who need occasional pain or fever relief. It works best when taken at the first sign of pain rather than waiting for it to worsen.

Doctors caution against taking more than the recommended dose or combining it with other paracetamol containing products, since this significantly raises the risk of liver damage.
