MS2424:2012 1262-09/2004 1500008927 N.1 May 2019 PHARMACODYNAMICS Analgesic: The mechanism of analgesic action has not been fully determined. Paracetamol may act predominantly by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis in the central nervous system (CNS) and to 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 of action of other substances that sensitize pain receptors. Antipyretic: Paracetamol probably produces antipyresis by acting centrally on the hypothalamic heat regulating center to produce peripheral vasodilation resulting in increased blood flow through the skin, sweating and heat loss. The central action probably involves inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis in the hypothalamus. Pamabrom acts as a diuretic by increasing renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate thus, promoting diuretics. PHARMACOKINETICS Paracetamol is rapidly and almost completely absorbed after oral administration. Approximately 90-95% of a dose is metabolized in the liver, primarily by conjugation with glucoronic acid, sulfuric acid and cysteine. Peak concentration can be achieved within 0.5-2 hours. Paracetamol is excreted primarily as conjugates via the kidney. SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENT OF OVERDOSE Early symptoms (nausea, vomiting, and weakness) usually occur after ingestion of paracetamol overdose large enough to cause hepatic toxicity. First empty stomach via induction of emesis or gastric lavage. It is recommended that acetylcysteine administration be instituted as soon as possible after ingestion of an overdose has been reported without waiting for the results of plasma paracetamol concentration or other laboratory tests. Acetylcysteine is most effective if treatment is started within 10 to 12 hours after ingestion of the overdose. However, it may be of some benefits if treatment is started within 24 hours. For oral administration, the recommended adult dose of acetylcysteine is 140mg per read_full_document
