How It Works
Emzor Paracetamol works by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis in the central nervous system. It blocks pain signals and resets the hypothalamic heat-regulating center to normal temperature. Unlike NSAIDs, it has minimal anti-inflammatory action but provides effective pain relief with fewer gastrointestinal effects.
Dosage
| Age Group | Standard Dosage | Maximum Daily Dosage |
|---|---|---|
| Adults | 1-2 tablets every 4-6 hours | 8 tablets (4,000 mg) |
| Children 6-12 | ½-1 tablet every 4-6 hours | 4 tablets (2,000 mg) |
Do not exceed recommended dose. Minimum 4-hour interval between doses. Take with water.
Duration of Action
Emzor Paracetamol begins working within 30 minutes of ingestion. Pain relief and fever reduction typically last 4-6 hours per dose. The medication is metabolized primarily in the liver and eliminated through the kidneys, with a half-life of approximately 2-3 hours.
Side Effects
Most people tolerate Emzor Paracetamol well when taken as directed. Occasional side effects may include mild nausea or upset stomach. Rare but serious adverse effects include allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling) and liver damage (from overdose). Discontinue use if unusual symptoms develop.
Warning
Do not exceed recommended dosage as overdose can cause severe liver damage. Avoid alcohol consumption while taking this medication. Consult a doctor before use if you have liver disease, kidney disease, or alcohol dependency. Seek immediate medical attention for accidental overdose.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Emzor Paracetamol is generally considered safe for use during pregnancy when taken as directed for short periods. It’s preferred over NSAIDs for pain relief during pregnancy. Small amounts pass into breast milk but are not harmful to nursing infants at recommended doses. Consult healthcare provider before extended use.
Interaction
- May increase risk of bleeding with warfarin (blood thinner)
- Possible reduced effectiveness when taken with certain anti-epileptic drugs

Precaution
Take special care with Emzor Paracetamol if you have liver or kidney problems. Check ingredients of other medications to avoid unintentional paracetamol overdose from multiple sources. Prolonged use without medical supervision is not recommended. Store at room temperature away from moisture.
