PARACETAMOL ratiopharm 500 mg tablets 20 pcs

How paracetamol 500 mg works

Paracetamol inhibits the formation of the messenger substances prostaglandins, which play a key role in the development of pain and fever. In this way, the active ingredient effectively suppresses or relieves pain, reduces fever and also has low anti-inflammatory properties. However, since these are not as pronounced as with other painkillers, paracetamol tablets are suitable for the following complaints, for example:

• Headache
• Toothache
• menstrual pain
• Fever

How is ratiopharm paracetamol used?

Paracetamol ratiopharm tablets are taken with plenty of water for acute pain and fever; taking them on an empty stomach accelerates the onset of action. Paracetamol may be used for the symptomatic treatment of pain and fever in adults, children aged 4 and over and for short periods and in low doses in pregnant and breastfeeding women. Be sure to note the maximum daily dose of 8 tablets for adults and 60 mg/kg/day for children. Paracetamol 500 mg should not be used in children under 4 years of age or under 17 kilograms. Instead, choose a preparation with a lower active ingredient strength. Do not use the medication for more than 3 days at a time and consult your doctor if pain and fever persist.
