Composition:

• Paracetamol 650 mg

Description:

Pact 650 DT is a highly effective analgesic and antipyretic medication that contains Paracetamol (650 mg), commonly used for pain relief and fever reduction. Paracetamol is a widely recommended over-the-counter medication, known for its ability to treat mild to moderate pain and reduce fever without causing the side effects associated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

Indications:

Pact 650 DT is commonly used for:

• Pain Relief:
  • Headaches, toothaches, menstrual pain, back pain, and muscle aches.
  • Pain associated with osteoarthritis and other joint conditions.
  • Post-surgical pain or pain after minor injuries.
• Fever Reduction:
  • To manage fever associated with infections such as colds, flu, and other viral or bacterial conditions.

Benefits:

• Effective Pain Relief: Provides fast and reliable relief from various types of pain without causing stomach irritation.
• Fever Management: Helps to lower body temperature and manage fever during viral or bacterial infections.
• Gentle on the Stomach: Unlike NSAIDs, Paracetamol does not cause significant gastrointestinal side effects, making it suitable for long-term use.
• Well-Tolerated: Safe for use by most individuals, including those who may not tolerate other pain medications.

Dosage and Administration:

• Adults and Children over 12 years: 1 tablet (650 mg) every 4 to 6 hours as needed, but not more than 4 tablets per day (i.e., 2600 mg).
• Children (6-12 years): Half tablet (325 mg) as prescribed by the doctor.
• Swallow the tablet whole with water.
• Do not exceed the recommended dose to avoid the risk of liver toxicity.

Storage Instructions:

• Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature (below 25°C).
• Keep out of reach of children to prevent accidental overdose.
• Protect from excessive moisture and direct sunlight.

Precautions:

• Liver Disease: Use with caution in patients with liver impairment or liver disease, as Paracetamol can cause liver damage in high doses.
• Alcohol Use: Avoid excessive alcohol consumption while using Paracetamol, as this increases the risk of liver damage.
• Allergy: Do not use if you have a known hypersensitivity to Paracetamol.
• Other Medications: If taking other medications, especially those containing Paracetamol, ensure you do not exceed the maximum daily dosage to prevent liver toxicity.

Side Effects:

• Common:
  • Generally well-tolerated, but may cause mild allergic reactions such as rash or itching.
• Serious:
  • Liver Damage: Overdose or prolonged use can lead to liver toxicity.
  • Rare allergic reactions, including swelling and difficulty breathing, requiring immediate medical attention.

Key Notes:

• Paracetamol is considered a safe, non-prescription option for relieving pain and reducing fever when used at the recommended dose.
• Always follow dosing guidelines carefully to avoid potential overdose.
• If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation
