Paracetamol 500mg
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: It is a white to off-white, round tablet with
logo “500” on one side and plain on the other side.
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 though the total amount absorbed does 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
