Paracetamol, known as acetaminophen in the United States, is a painkiller that is popular throughout the world because it is remarkably safe and it does not irritate the stomach. Paracetamol was first discovered to have both analgesic and antipyretic properties in the late nineteenth century. Prior to this, cinchona bark, which was also used to make the anti-malaria drug quinine, had been used to treat fevers.Anticoagulants (such as warfarin) may interact with Paracetamol because the risk of their side effects, including bleeding, may be increased. Isoniazid because the risk of liver problems may be increased. Paracetamol is used to relieve mild to moderate pain, including instances of tension headache, migraine headache, muscular aches, neuralgia, backache, joint pain, rheumatic pain, general pain, toothache, teething pain, and period pain. It is suitable for most people, including the elderly and young children, because it has very few side effects. Paracetamol is used to treat osteoarthritis, a type of non-inflammatory arthritis due to the "wear and tear" of the joints, because of its analgesic properties and its lack of gastrointestinal side effects. It can also help with the pain experienced by sufferers of arthritis.Paracetamol is an antipyretic that can reduce fever by affecting the part of the brain known as the hypothalamus that regulates the temperature of the body.
