What is Paracetamol?

Paracetamol, also known as acetaminophen, is a common pain reliever and fever reducer. It is widely used to alleviate mild to moderate pain from headaches, muscle aches, menstrual periods, colds, sore throats, toothaches, and to reduce fever. Paracetamol is available over the counter and is often a go-to medication for many people.

How do Paracetamol 500mg tablets work for pain relief?

Paracetamol works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins in the brain. Prostaglandins are chemicals in the body that are responsible for transmitting pain signals to the brain and causing fever.

Each tablet contains 500mg of paracetamol, which helps reduce pain by blocking pain signals in the brain and lowering fever by acting on the body’s temperature control system.

Who are Paracetamol 500mg tablets suitable for?

Paracetamol 500mg tablets are suitable for adults and children over 10 years old. It is generally safe for pregnant and breastfeeding women when taken at the recommended doses. However, individuals with certain medical conditions or those taking specific medications should consult their doctor or pharmacist before using Paracetamol. At Click2Pharmacy, we can only sell this product to adults over 18.

Do not take Paracetamol tablets if you are allergic to paracetamol or any other tablet ingredients or if you have severe liver or kidney problems.

Paracetamol 500mg Tablets FAQs


Paracetamol usually begins to work within 30 minutes, with pain-relief effects lasting about 4-6 hours.

You should not drink alcohol when taking Paracetamol, as it may increase the risk of liver damage.

Yes, it is usually safe to take paracetamol during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it to ensure its safety for you and your baby.

In the UK, the Paracetamol 500mg 100 pack requires a prescription as it contains a large amount of paracetamol. You can buy Paracetamol 500mg 100 tablets online from our Pain Relief clinic by filling out a quick consultation form. Once reviewed, your prescription will be delivered directly to your door.

Smaller quantities like Paracetamol 500mg 32 pack are available over-the-counter.

 

Yes, you can take paracetamol and ibuprofen together as they work in different ways to relieve pain. Paracetamol reduces pain and fever, while ibuprofen treats pain, inflammation, and swelling. It’s generally safe to use them together or to alternate them, but you should follow the recommended dosage instructions carefully for each.

If you’re considering this combination for ongoing pain or have any specific health conditions (e.g. kidney issues or stomach ulcers), it’s best to check with your doctor or pharmacist first.

Yes, paracetamol is generally safe to be taken at the same time as codeine, as these two medications work differently to relieve pain. Paracetamol is a pain reliever, while codeine is an opioid that helps to manage moderate pain by affecting pain signals in the brain.

However, many combination pain medications already contain paracetamol and codeine. Be sure to check the ingredients of all medicines you’re taking to avoid accidentally exceeding the recommended dosages, as taking too much paracetamol can cause liver damage.

Yes, you can generally take paracetamol and naproxen together, as they work differently. Paracetamol reduces pain and fever, while naproxen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that relieves inflammation and pain. Combining them can be helpful for managing pain like joint or muscle pain.

However, as with any medication combination, following dosing instructions carefully is important.
