How It Works
Paracetamol works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes in the brain, reducing prostaglandin production responsible for pain and fever. Unlike other painkillers, it has minimal anti-inflammatory effects and works primarily in the central nervous system, making it gentler on the stomach and suitable for regular use.
