Pharmacology:
Cetol is the composition of paracetamol (Acetaminophen) which is the safest and most widely used painkiller and antipyretic. Cetol produces analgesic action by increasing the pain threshold and antipyretics through action in the hypothalamic heat regulatory center. Cetol has significantly mild side effects and is less likely to cause many serious side effects related to aspirin and other NSAIDs. Paracetamol is rapidly and completely absorbed from the GIT after oral administration and from the rectum after rectal administration. The average half-life of absorption from the upper small intestine is only 7 minutes. The drug is widely metabolized in the liver and has a plasma half-life of 1.5 to 3.0 hours. Paracetamol is not bound to plasma proteins to any extent. Paracetamol infusion provides pain relief within 5 to 10 minutes of starting administration. Peak The analgesic effect is found within 1 hour and the duration of this effect is usually 4 to 6 hours. Paracetamol infusion reduces fever within 30 minutes of starting administration with a duration of at least 6 hours antipyretic effect.

Overdose:
Symptoms of paracetamol overdose include paleness, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite and abdominal pain. Liver damage may become apparent 12-48 hours after taking paracetamol. Hepatic failure in severe poisoning Encephalopathy can cause coma and death.
