Pharmacological action

Pharmacodynamics:

Paracetamol has analgesic and antipyretic effects. The drug blocks cyclooxygenase in the central nervous system, affecting the centers of pain and thermoregulation. In inflamed tissues, cellular peroxidases neutralize the effect of paracetamol on cyclooxygenase, which explains the lack of a significant anti-inflammatory effect.

The absence of a blocking effect on the synthesis of prostaglandins in peripheral tissues causes it to have a negative effect on water-salt metabolism (sodium and water retention) and the gastrointestinal mucosa.

Pharmacokinetics:

Absorption is high, rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. The period of reaching maximum concentration is 30-60 minutes. Penetrates through the blood-brain barrier. The bioavailability in children and infants is similar to that in adults. Metabolized in the liver. The elimination half-life is 2-3 hours. Within 24 hours, 85-95% of paracetamol is excreted by the kidneys in the form of glucuronides and sulfates, unchanged - 3%. Significant age-related differences in the rate of elimination of paracetamol and in the total amount of the drug, which is excreted in the urine, no.

Indications

Used in children from 3 months to 12 years of age as:

antipyretic in acute respiratory infections, flu, childhood infections, post-vaccination reactions and other conditions accompanied by fever

painkiller and mild pain syndrome intensities, including: headache and toothache, muscle pain, neuralgia, pain from injuries and burns.

In children from 1 to 3 months, a single dose of the drug is possible to reduce the temperature after vaccination, the use of the drug for all indications is possible only as directed by the doctor.

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity, neonatal period (up to 1 month).

Precautions

Renal and hepatic insufficiency, benign hyperbilirubinemia (including Gilbert syndrome), viral hepatitis, alcoholic liver damage, alcoholism, pregnancy, lactation, genetic absence of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, concomitant use of other paracetamol-containing drugs.

Special instructions

If you continue to have fever for more than 3 days and pain for more than 5 days, you should consult your doctor.

The simultaneous use of paracetamol with other paracetamol-containing drugs should be avoided, as this may cause an overdose of paracetamol.

When using the drug for more than 5-7 days, peripheral blood counts and the functional state of the liver should be monitored. Paracetamol distorts the performance of laboratory tests in the quantitative determination of glucose and uric acid in plasma.

Composition

One suppository contains: the active substance is paracetamol - 50 mg, 100 mg or 250 mg of the basis for suppositories: solid fat (vitepsol, suppository) - until a suppository weighs 1.25 g.

from 10 to 12 years (31-35 kg) - 2 supp. 250 mg (500 mg).

Side effects

Allergic reactions (including skin rash).

Drug interactions

Stimulators of microsomal oxidation in the liver (phenytoin, ethanol, barbiturates, flumecinol, rifampicin, phenylbutazone, tricyclic antidepressants), ethanol and hepatotoxic drugs increase the production of hydroxylated, active metabolites, which can lead to the development of heavy metabolized active metabolites. Microsomal oxidation inhibitors (including cimetidine) reduce the risk of hepatotoxicity. When taken with salicylates, the nephrotoxic effect of paracetamol increases. The combination with chloramphenicol leads to an increase in the toxic properties of the latter. It enhances the effect of indirect anticoagulants, reduces the effectiveness of uricosuric drugs.

Overdose

Symptoms: during the first 24 hours after administration - pallor of the skin, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, abdominal pain, impaired glucose metabolism, metabolic acidosis. Symptoms of impaired liver function may appear 12-48 hours after an overdose. In severe overdose - liver failure with progressive encephalopathy, coma, death, acute renal failure with tubular necrosis (including in the absence of severe liver damage) arrhythmia, pancreatitis. Hepatotoxic effect in adults is manifested when taking 10 g or more.

Treatment: administration of SH-group donors and precursors of glutathione-methionine synthesis 8-9 hours after an overdose and N-acetylcysteine ​​12 hours later. The need for further therapeutic measures (further administration of methionine, intravenous administration of N-acetylcysteine) is determined depending on the concentration of paracetamol in the blood, as well as the time elapsed after its administration.
