    200mg/ IVTT/ Q4 Produces analgesiaby blocking

    generation of painimpulses. This action

    is probably causedby inhibition of

    prostaglandinsynthesis; it may also

    be caused byinhibition of the

    synthesis or action of

    other substances thatsensitize painreceptors to

    mechanical orchemical stimulation.

    It relieves fever bycentral action in the

    hypothalamic heat-regulating center.

    Mild pain or fever Paracetamol shouldnot be used in

    hypersensitivity to thepreparation and in

    severe liver diseases.
