Paracetamol 500mg Soluble Tablets

Paracetamol 500mg tablets belong to a group of medicines called analgesics (painkillers) and are used to treat pain (including headache, toothache, back and period pain) and cold or flu symptoms.

Paracetamol is a common over-the-counter analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer). Paracetamol 500mg tablets can be taken in combination with NSAIDs (naproxen and ibuprofen), and opioid analgesics (codeine) to provide further pain relief or reduce inflammation.

• Nerve pain

When the body experiences illness or injury, whether that be a headache, an infection or a broken bone; it releases chemicals called prostaglandins which cause inflammation and pain.
