Парацетамол 500мг это лекарство, которое используется для легкой до умеренной боли и лихорадки у взрослых и детей
Paracetamol 500mg is a medicine that is used for mild to moderate pain and fever in adults and children. It can be taken instead of other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) that in some cases are contraindicated to the patients. Paracetamol may be used consentaneously with other medicines depending upon a case. For children, paracetamol is the most commonly prescribed medicine to reduce a high temperature or for pain relief. It works by blocking the making of prostaglandins (pros-ta-glan-dins) which can cause pain (including headaches), fever (high temperature), and inflammation (swelling and redness). Paracetamol is not very good at reducing inflammation, but is very effective at reducing pain and fever. It is used both for acute pain (e.g. headache, accident) and for chronic pain (e.g. osteo-arthritis). It is sometimes used for cancer pain. Paracetamol is available in tablets, capsules, soluble tablets, children's mixtures and suppositories.
Paracetamol is taken by mouth with a glass of water, with or without food. Avoid taking it longer than it is prescribed. You need to consult your doctor regarding the appropriate dosage schedule. Do not give up taking the medicine unless it is permitted by your doctor. There is a certain amount of time needed for the medicine to help.
