PHARMACODYNAMICS
1111111111
Par1cetamol, a para-aminophenol derivative, has analgesic and
antipyretic properties and weak anti-inflammatory activity.
PHARMACOKINETICS
•:•xepa ,,
Paracetamol is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract with
peak plasma concentrations occurring about 10 to 60 minutes after oral
doses.
Paracetamol is distributed into most body tissues. It crosses the
placenta and is present in breast milk. Plasma-protein binding is
negligible at usual
therapeutic concentrations but increases with increasing
concentrations. The elimination half-life of paracetamol varies from
about 1 to 3 hours.
Paracetamol is metabolised mainly in the liver and excreted in the
urine mainly as the glucuronide and sulf
a
te conjugates. Less than 5% is excreted
as unchanged paracetamol. A minor hydroxylated metabolite
(N-acetyl-p-benzoquinoneimine), is usually produced in very small
amounts by
cytochrome P450 isoenzymes (mainly CYP2El and CYP3A4) in the liver and
kidney. It is usually detoxified by conjugation with glutathione but
may
accumulate after paracetamol overdosage and cause tissue damage.
INDICATIONS
Palavo tablet is given orally for mild to moderate pain and for fever.
