What Experts Say

Paracetamol works mainly in the brain, where it reduces pain signals and resets the body's temperature control center to bring down fever. Unlike NSAIDs, it has little effect on inflammation at the site of injury, but it carries a much lower risk of stomach irritation and bleeding.

Its wide margin of safety at recommended doses makes it a first-choice option for fever and mild pain across almost every age group, including children and pregnant women, when used correctly. However, the gap between an effective dose and a toxic dose is narrower than many people realize, which is why accidental overdose from combining multiple paracetamol-containing products is a genuine concern.

Doctors in Pakistan frequently caution patients to check cold and flu combination products for hidden paracetamol content before adding a plain paracetamol tablet on top. Anyone with existing liver disease, heavy alcohol use or poor nutrition should use a reduced dose and seek medical advice rather than self-treating for an extended period.
