This results in increase in blood flow through skin, sweating and heat loss.

DESCRIPTION Pink, viscous suspension with raspberry flavour. COMPOSITION Each 5 ml contains: Paracetamol 250 mg ACTIONS AND PHARMACOLOGY Paracetamol is a centrally acting analgesic and antipyretic with minimal anti-inflammatory properties. ANALGESIC: The mechanism of analgesic action has not been fully determined. Paracetamol may act predominantly by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis in the central nervous system (specifically cyclooxygenase (COX)-2) and, to a lesser extent, through a peripheral action by blocking pain-impulse generation. The peripheral action may also be due to inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis or to inhibition of the synthesis or actions of other substances that sensitize pain receptors to mechanical or chemical stimulation. ANTIPYRETIC: Paracetamol act centrally on the hypothalamic heat-regulating center to produce peripheral vasodilatation resulting in increase blood flow through the skin, sweating and heat loss. Paracetamol reduces fever by inhibiting the formulation and release of prostaglandins in the CNS and by inhibiting endogenous pyrogens at the hypothalamic thermoregulator center. PHARMACOKINETICS Following oral administration paracetamol is rapidly absorbed. Paracetamol absorption takes place mainly in the small intestine and therefore the rate of absorption is depending on the rate of gastric emptying. It has been shown that drugs which delay gastric emptying also delay the absorption of paracetamol whereas metoclopramide (a drug which increases the rate of gastric emptying) accelerates absorption of the analgesic through the total amount absorbed doses not increase. The presence of food in the stomach has also been reported to reduce the rate of absorption of paracetamol. Alterations in gastric pH have no appreciable effect on paracetamol absorption. During absorption, the amount of paracetamol which is inactivated is negligible and it has been shown that paracetamol does not affect gastric mucosal permeability and does not produce mucosal bleeding.
