Eurogesic (Paracetamol)

Paracetamol, also known as acetaminophen in some regions, is a widely used over-the-counter medication known for its analgesic (pain-relieving) and antipyretic (fever-reducing) properties. It works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins in the brain, which are chemicals involved in pain and fever response. Paracetamol is commonly used to relieve mild to moderate pain associated with headaches, muscle aches, menstrual cramps, and toothaches, as well as to reduce fever caused by infections such as the common cold or flu. It is generally considered safe when used as directed, but exceeding the recommended dosage can lead to liver damage and other serious complications. Therefore, it's essential to follow the dosage instructions carefully and consult a healthcare professional if unsure about its use, especially in certain populations such as children, pregnant women, or individuals with liver problems.
