Paracetamol (650mg)
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 650 Tablet contains Paracetamol 650 mg, a widely used analgesic and antipyretic agent indicated for the relief of mild to moderate pain and fever. Paracetamol exerts its effect primarily through central inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis, resulting in decreased pain perception and reduction of elevated body temperature. Macfast 650 is commonly prescribed for conditions such as headache, toothache, musculoskeletal pain, osteoarthritis, menstrual cramps, and febrile episodes associated with common infections. The tablet is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, with onset of action typically within 30 minutes and duration of analgesic effect lasting 4 to 6 hours. It is well-tolerated when used at recommended dosages; however, caution is advised in patients with hepatic impairment or chronic alcohol use due to the risk of hepatotoxicity at higher doses. The maximum daily dose should not exceed 4 grams in adults to minimize the risk of liver damage. Macfast 650 is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to paracetamol or any tablet excipients. It is important to adhere to dosing instructions and avoid concomitant use with other paracetamol-containing products to prevent accidental overdose. Consultation with a healthcare professional is recommended if symptoms persist or worsen.
