PHARMACODYNAMICS
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
increased 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
