Paracetamol-Welfarm Pharmacodynamics
Paracetamol has analgesic, antipyretic and very weak anti-inflammatory activity, due to its influence on the thermoregulation center in the hypothalamus and a weak ability to inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins
in peripheral tissues. The absence of blocking effect on prostaglandin synthesis in peripheral tissues determines the absence of its negative effect on water-salt metabolism (retention of sodium and water ions) ts mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract.

Indications
Antipyretic in acute respiratory infections and other inflammatory diseases, accompanied by fever.
Pain reliever for mild to moderate pain: arthralgia, myalgia, neuralgia, migraine, toothache, headache, algodysmenorrhea, pain from injuries and burns.

Contraindications
– Hypersensitivity to paracetamol or any other ingredient of the drug;
– Lactase deficiency, lactose intolerance, glucose-galactose malabsorption;
– children under 3 years of age (for this dosage form).
