Overview

What is Paraset D?

Paraset D contains paracetamol, one of the most widely used medicines for pain and fever. "Dispersible" means the tablet dissolves in water and you drink it, which suits people who find tablets hard to swallow.

Uses

What it is used for

Paraset D is commonly used for:

  • Fever
  • Headache
  • Body aches and muscle pain
  • Toothache
  • Period pain
  • Aches that come with a cold or flu
Benefits

How it helps

Brings fever down

Helps your body return to a normal temperature so you feel more comfortable.

Eases everyday pain

Takes the edge off headaches, body aches and toothache.

Easy to take

Dissolves in water, so there is no large tablet to swallow.

Gentle on the stomach

At the right dose it rarely upsets the stomach, unlike many other painkillers.

Side effects

Possible side effects

Not everyone gets side effects. Most are mild and settle as your body gets used to the medicine.

Common and usually mild

  • Side effects are uncommon when you take the right dose
  • Feeling sick (rare)
  • Skin rash (rare)

Talk to your doctor if any of these bother you or don't go away.

Get medical help straight away if you notice

  • You have taken more than the recommended dose. Get medical help straight away, even if you feel fine
  • Rash, itching, swelling of the face or lips, or trouble breathing
  • Yellow skin or eyes, dark urine or pain in the upper right side of the tummy
How to use

Taking it the right way

  1. Step 1
    Stir the tablet into half a glass of water until it dissolves, then drink it all.
  2. Step 2
    You can take it with or without food.
  3. Step 3
    Leave at least 4 hours between doses, and never take more doses in 24 hours than your doctor or the pack allows.
  4. Step 4
    Check the labels of other medicines, especially cold and flu remedies, so you do not take paracetamol twice.
How it works

What it does in your body

Paracetamol works mainly in the brain. It reduces the chemicals that pass on pain signals, so you feel less pain. It also acts on the brain's "thermostat", helping it bring a high temperature back down.

Safety advice

Is it safe for me?

A quick guide to common situations. Your doctor knows your health best, so always follow their advice.

Alcohol

Avoid

Alcohol and paracetamol together raise the risk of liver damage. Avoid alcohol while taking it.

Pregnancy

Safe if prescribed

It is generally one of the preferred medicines for pain and fever in pregnancy when taken at the right dose for a short time. Check with your doctor first.

Breastfeeding

Safe if prescribed

Only very small amounts pass into breast milk, so it is generally considered safe while breastfeeding at normal doses.

Driving

Safe

It does not usually affect your ability to drive.

Kidney

Caution

Take care if you have serious kidney disease. Your doctor may space the doses further apart. It is still often the painkiller of choice for people with kidney problems.

Liver

Caution

Take extra care if you have liver disease or drink alcohol regularly. Your doctor may advise a lower dose. Avoid it in severe or active liver disease unless your doctor says otherwise.

Quick tips

Good to know

  1. Write down the time of each dose, so you never take the next one too early.
  2. Do not combine it with other medicines that also contain paracetamol.
  3. See a doctor if a fever lasts more than 3 days or pain does not improve.
  4. Keep it out of the reach and sight of children.
  5. Drink plenty of fluids and rest when you have a fever.
