Answer:

Paracetamol, also known as acetaminophen, is a medication used to treat pain and fever.[12][13] It is typically used for mild to moderate pain relief.[12] Evidence is mixed for its use to relieve fever in children.[14][15] It is often sold in combination with other medications, such as in many cold medications.[12] Paracetamol is also used for severe pain, such as cancer pain and pain after surgery, in combination with opioid pain medication.[16] It is typically used either by mouth or rectally, but is also available by injection into a vein.[12][17] Effects last between two and four hours.[17]

Paracetamol is generally safe at recommended doses.[18][19] The recommended maximum daily dose for an adult is three to four grams.] Higher doses may lead to toxicity, including liver failure.[12] Serious skin rashes may rarely occur.[12] It appears to be safe during pregnancy and when breastfeeding.[12] In those with liver disease, it may still be used, but in lower doses.[22] It is classified as a mild analgesic.[17] It does not have significant anti-inflammatory activity.[23] How it works is not entirely clear.

Paracetamol was first made in 1877.[26] It is the most commonly used medication for pain and fever in both the United States and Europe.[27] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[28] Paracetamol is available as a generic medication, with brand names including Tylenol and Panadol among others.[29] In 2017, it was the 25th-most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 24 million prescriptions.[30][31]
