Action

Pharmacology: Pharmacodynamics: Paracetamol is an analgesic and antipyretic. Its mechanism of action is believed to include inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis, primarily within the central nervous system.
Pharmacokinetics: Paracetamol is rapidly and almost completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Binding to the plasma proteins is minimal at therapeutic concentrations. Paracetamol is metabolized in the liver and excreted in the urine mainly as glucuronide and sulfate conjugates. Less than 5% is excreted as unmodified paracetamol.
