Paracetamol (500mg)
Active composition
Paracetamol works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, leading to reduced synthesis of prostaglandins in the brain, which are responsible for pain and fever.
Medical applications
Macfast 500 Tablet contains Paracetamol 500 mg, a widely used analgesic and antipyretic agent indicated for the relief of mild to moderate pain and fever. Paracetamol acts centrally in the brain to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis, thereby reducing pain and lowering elevated body temperature without causing significant anti-inflammatory effects. Macfast 500 is commonly prescribed for conditions such as headaches, muscle aches, toothaches, menstrual cramps, arthritis, and common cold or flu-related fever. The tablet is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, with onset of action typically within 30 minutes and duration of effect lasting 4 to 6 hours. It is generally well tolerated when used at recommended doses; however, overdose can lead to severe hepatotoxicity and requires immediate medical attention. Macfast 500 should be used cautiously in patients with liver impairment or chronic alcohol use. It is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to paracetamol or any tablet excipients. Dosage should be individualized based on patient age, weight, and clinical condition, ensuring not to exceed the maximum daily limit to avoid toxicity. Macfast 500 Tablet offers effective symptomatic relief and is an essential component in pain and fever management protocols.
