Paracetamol

Paracetamol, also known as acetaminophen in the United States, is an over-the-counter medication commonly used to relieve pain and reduce fever. It is considered a non-opioid analgesic and antipyretic. Unlike nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), it has minimal anti-inflammatory effects. Paracetamol is available in various forms, including oral tablets, syrups, and intravenous solutions, and is often a component in multi-symptom medications.
