Paracetamol is a medication with pain-relieving and fever-reducing properties. It is used to alleviate pain and reduce fever. Paracetamol can be used in various conditions such as headaches, toothaches, menstrual pains, or common colds and flu. However, it lacks anti-inflammatory properties, so it is not effective in treating inflammation.

Due to its low side effect profile, paracetamol is generally considered safe for use by various age groups, including children and pregnant women. Nevertheless, excessive intake can lead to serious liver damage.
