Introduction

About
Paracetamol is a commonly used medicine that can help treat pain and reduce a high temperature
(fever). It’s typically used to relieve mild or moderate pain, such as headaches, toothache or sprains,
and reduce fevers caused by illnesses such as colds and flu. Paracetamol is often recommended as
one of the first treatments for pain, as it’s safe for most people to take and side effects are rare.

Types of paracetamol

You can buy most types of paracetamol from supermarkets or pharmacies. Some types are
only available on prescription.

Paracetamol is available as:

• tablets or caplets
• capsules
• liquid – usually for children
• soluble tablets (tablets that dissolve in water to make a drink)
• suppositories (capsules inserted into the back passage)
• an injection given into a vein – normally only used in hospital

In some products, such as cold and flu remedies or certain combination painkillers,
paracetamol is combined with other ingredients.

It may be sold under the name paracetamol, or under various brand names (which may also
contain other ingredients).

Uses of paracetamol
Fever

Paracetamol is used for reducing fever in people of all ages. The World Health Organization
recommends that paracetamol be used to treat fever in children only if their temperature is
higher than 38.5 °C (101.3 °F). The efficacy of paracetamol by itself in children with fevers has
been questioned and a meta-analysis showed that it is less effective than ibuprofen.
Paracetamol does not have significant anti-inflammatory effects.

Pain

Paracetamol is used for the relief of mild to moderate pain. The use of the intravenous form for
short-term pain in people in the emergency department is supported by limited evidence.

Osteoarthritis

The American College of Rheumatology recommends paracetamol as one of several treatment


options for people with arthritis pain of the hip, hand, or knee that does not improve with
exercise and weight loss. A 2015 review, however, found it provided only a small benefit in
osteoarthritis.

Paracetamol has relatively little anti-inflammatory activity, unlike other common analgesics
such as the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), aspirin, and ibuprofen, but
ibuprofen and paracetamol have similar effects in the treatment of headache. Paracetamol can
relieve pain in mild arthritis, but has no effect on the underlying inflammation, redness, and
swelling of the joint. It has analgesic properties comparable to those of aspirin, while its anti-
inflammatory effects are weaker. It is better tolerated than aspirin due to concerns about
bleeding with aspirin.

Low back pain

Based on a systematic review, paracetamol is recommended by the American Pain Society as


a first-line treatment for low back pain. In contrast, the American College of Physicians found
good evidence for NSAIDs but only fair evidence for paracetamol, while other systematic
reviews have concluded that evidence for its efficacy is lacking entirely.

Headaches

A joint statement of the German, Austrian, and Swiss headache societies and the German
Society of Neurology recommends the use of paracetamol in combination with caffeine as one
of several first-line therapies for treatment of tension or migraine headache. In the treatment of

[- 8 -]
acute migraine, it is superior to placebo, with 39% of people experiencing pain relief at 1 hour
compared with 20% in the control group.

Postoperative pain

Paracetamol combined with NSAIDs may be more effective for treating postoperative pain than
either paracetamol or NSAIDs alone.

Dental use

NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, naproxen, and diclofenac are more effective than paracetamol for
controlling dental pain or pain arising from dental procedures; combinations of NSAIDs and
paracetamol are more effective than either alone. Paracetamol is particularly useful when
NSAIDs are contraindicated due to hypersensitivity or history of gastrointestinal ulceration or
bleeding. It can also be used in combination with NSAIDs when these are ineffective in
controlling dental pain alone. The Cochrane review of preoperative analgesics for additional
pain relief in children and adolescents shows no evidence of benefit in taking paracetamol
before dental treatment to help reduce pain after treatment for procedures under local
anesthetic, but the quality of evidence is low.

Other

The efficacy of paracetamol when used in combination with weak opioids (such as codeine)
improved for about 50% of people, but with increases in the number experiencing side effects.
Combination drugs of paracetamol and strong opioids such as morphine improve analgesic
effect.

The combination of paracetamol with caffeine is superior to paracetamol alone for the treatment
of common pain conditions, including dental pain, post-partum pain, and headache.. [46]

Section 2: Hazards Identification
Potential Acute Health Effects:
Very hazardous in case of skin contact (corrosive, irritant, permeator), of eye contact
(irritant, corrosive), of ingestion. Slightly hazardous in case of inhalation (lung sensitizer).
Liquid or spray mist may produce tissue damage particularly on mucous membranes of
eyes, mouth and respiratory tract. Skin contact may produce burns. Inhalation of the spray
mist may produce severe irritation of respiratory tract, characterized by coughing, choking,
or shortness of breath. Prolonged exposure may result in skin burns and ulcerations. Over-
exposure by inhalation may cause respiratory irritation. Severe over-exposure can result in
death. Inflammation of the eye is characterized by redness, watering, and itching. Skin
inflammation is characterized by itching, scaling, reddening, or, occasionally, blistering.

Section 3: First Aid Measures


Eye Contact: Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush
eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention
immediately.
Skin Contact: In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Cover the irritated skin with an
emollient. Cold water may be used. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before
reuse. Get medical attention immediately.
Serious Skin Contact: Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an
anti-bacterial cream. Seek immediate medical attention.
Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing
is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention immediately.
Serious Inhalation: Evacuate the victim to a safe area as soon as possible. Loosen tight
clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If the
victim is not breathing, perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. WARNING: It may be hazardous
to the person providing aid to
give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation when the inhaled material is toxic, infectious or corrosive.
Seek immediate medical attention.
Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give
anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If large quantities of this material are swallowed,
call a physician immediately. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.
Serious Ingestion: Not available.

Flammability of the Product: Non-flammable.
Auto-Ignition Temperature: Not applicable.
Flash Points: Not applicable.
[- 16 -]
Flammable Limits: Not applicable.
Products of Combustion: Not available.
Fire Hazards in Presence of Various Substances: of combustible materials
Explosion Hazards in Presence of Various Substances: Explosive in presence of reducing
materials, of metals, of alkalis. Slightly explosive in presence of combustible materials. Non-
explosive in presence of open flames and sparks, of shocks.
Fire Fighting Media and Instructions: Not applicable.
Special Remarks on Fire Hazards: Flammable in presence of cellulose or other combustible
materials. Phosphine, hydrogen sulfide, selenide all ignite when fuming nitric acid is dripped into
gas. Phosphine ignites in concentrated nitric acid. Nickel tetraphosphide ignites with fuming nitric
acid. Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. A jet of ammonia will ignite nitric
acid vapor. Cellulose may be converted to the highly flammable nitrate ester on contact with the
vapor of nitric acid as well as the liquid itself.
Special Remarks on Explosion Hazards : Reacts with metallic powders, carbides, cyanides,
sulfides, alkalies and turpentine. Can react explosively with many reducing agents. Arsine,
phosphine, tetraborane all oxidized explosively in presence of nitric acid. Cesium and rubidium
acetylides explode in contact with nitric acid. Explosive reaction with Nitric Acid +
Nitrobenzene + water. Detonation with Nitric Acid + 4-Methylcyclohexane. The addition of
warm fuming nitric acid to phosphine causes explosion. Addition of water to nitration mixture
diluted with an equal volume of water can cause a low order explosion. Cyclopentadiene
reacts explosively with fuming nitric acid. Mixtures of fuming nitric acid and acetonitrile are
high explosives.

Section 5: Accidental Release Measures


Small Spill: Dilute with water and mop up, or absorb with an inert dry material and place in an
appropriate waste disposal container. If necessary: Neutralize the residue with a dilute solution
