60

Cetal is an analgesic and antipyretic, available in the following pharmaceutical forms: tablets, drops, syrup, suspension, suppositories.

Properties

CETAL(paracetamol) has analgesic and antipyretic properties with an efficacy comparable to those of aspirin. It does not inhibit platelet aggregation, affect prothrombin response or produce gastrointestinal (GI) ulceration. Therefore,CETALis often the analgesic or antipyretic of choice especially in patients where salicylates or other NSAIDs are contraindicated, such as those with a history of peptic ulcer, asthma: in children or elderly patients. 

It produces analgesia by blocking pain impulses. probably by inhibiting prostaglandins or other substances that sensitize pain receptors.

The antipyretic action may be due to the effect on the hypothalamic heat- regulating center. which increases dissipation of the body heat via vasodilation and sweating.

Indications

Analgesic antipyretic, to relieve mild-to-moderate pain and to reduce fever in the presence of:

  1. Aspirin allergy patients with blood coagulation dieorders (who are treated with erlicoagulents). 
  2. bleeding diathesis (e.g. hemophilia).
  3. upper GI diseases (e.g. ulcer. gastritis. hiatus hernia).
  4. gouty arthiritis.

 Arthritic, rheumatic. and muscular pain, and neuralgia e.g.:  Headache, earache, toothache,  common colds and flu, sore throat, tonsillectomy, migraine, menstruation, and other bacterial or viral infections.
