What Experts Say

Paracetamol is one of the most widely used pain and fever medicines in the world. It acts mainly in the brain to raise the pain threshold and reset the body temperature. Unlike NSAIDs, it does not irritate the stomach lining or affect blood clotting, which makes it a common first choice.

The injection form is used when a patient cannot swallow, is vomiting or needs faster relief in a clinic or hospital. The dose depends on body weight, and it should be given by a trained provider. Total paracetamol from all sources must stay within the daily limit.

Liver damage is the main danger of overdose, and many Pakistani cold, flu and pain products also contain paracetamol. People with liver disease, heavy alcohol use or malnutrition need special care. During dengue it is the preferred fever medicine, though the dose must still be set by a doctor. Fever lasting beyond 3 days needs a medical check, and the same ampoule should never be reused.
