Paracetamol, or acetaminophen, has been known since the beginning of the last century, but its use as a dwelling of aches began in the 1950s. Paracetamol belongs to the group of analgesics and non-narcotic drugs. Paracetamol is kept in household medicines that are used to relieve mild and moderate pain and reduce fever. This medicine is suitable for adults and children. One of the advantages of using paracetamol is that it does not cause problems or bleeding in the stomach, so it is suitable for people with digestive ulcers or people who do not fit in the use of Aspirin. This drug can be used with anticoagulants, but it should be taken care of in large doses. The excessive dose of paracetamol is dangerous and may cause a serious risk to the liver. Large doses may be toxic to people who regularly consume alcohol, even in small quantities.
