What Experts Say

Paracetamol remains one of the most widely recommended first line options for mild pain and fever because it works reliably with a low risk of stomach irritation compared to anti inflammatory painkillers like ibuprofen. It is considered suitable for most adults and children when dosed correctly for their age and weight.

Doctors stress that the biggest risk with paracetamol comes from accidental overdose, often because people do not realize how many other cold, flu, or pain products also contain it. Checking labels before combining medicines is one of the most important safety steps for this drug.

Health authorities continue to recommend paracetamol as a first choice for fever and mild pain during pregnancy and in people who cannot take anti inflammatory drugs, provided the maximum daily dose is respected and liver health is otherwise normal. Its long safety record is a major reason it stays a household staple in Pakistani homes.
