Star Para (Paracetamol)

PARACETAMOL is a widely used over-the-counter analgesic (pain reliever) and antipyretic (fever reducer). Star Para is commonly used for the relief of headaches and other minor aches and pains and is a major ingredient in numerous cold and flu remedies. In combination with opioid analgesics, paracetamol can also be used in the management of more severe pain such as post-surgical pain and providing palliative care in advanced cancer patients. The onset of analgesia is approximately 11 minutes after oral administration of paracetamol, and its half-life is 1-4 hours.
