Paracetamol

Paracetamol (also known as acetaminophen) is a commonly used over-the-counter pain reliever and fever reducer. It is effective for treating mild to moderate pain, such as headaches, toothaches, muscle aches, and reducing fever. Paracetamol works by inhibiting the production of chemicals in the brain that cause pain and inflammation. It is generally considered safe when used as directed, but excessive use can lead to liver damage. It is commonly found in many combination products for cold and flu.
