Generic Name: Paracetamol (acetaminophen)
Paracetamol Reviews
For Fever "I rate it 5. I've had a very high fever, and after taking Paracetamol, it only made it worse. That is why they suggested me to take Paracetamol every 4 hours. As a result, my fever is now gone, but my stomach is suffering. I currently have stomach/intestinal disturbances due to Paracetamol. This medicine is 50:50."
For Muscle Pain "Paracetamol. The only thing that works for me without any side effects, takes about 20 minutes to kick in, fantastic for muscle pain and anxiety attacks and insomnia. I take two 500 mg tablets every 4 hours (four times a day), for two days, then I'm okay."
For Pain "It is the ABSOLUTE WORST PAINKILLER to take when you have period pain. It does did not ease my period pain at all. I would not recommend it to anyone . DON'T TOUCH IT. I am very lucky now that I do not take Paracetamol anymore."
For Pain "I have found Tylenol and other equivalents to be relatively ineffective in reducing pain associated with my degenerative disk disease (neck pain, severe headaches, lower back pain). I have had some success with tramadol coupled with muscle relaxants, Tylenol with codeine, and Vicodin (5 and 7.5 mg). I also had good results with Aleve until I started to have stomach problems."
For Pain "Administered an IV bolus of 600mg of Paracetamol to a patient in severe to moderate pain and patient suddenly started sleeping off but that was not expected so I checked and found the pulse unrecordable and BP not measurable. Quickly gave and IV bolus of saline and restored vitals and subsequently monitored patient for the next six hours. I think the effect of rapid administration IV should be hammered on."
For Fever "Paracetamol is a very fine medicine."
For Fever "paracetamol is the best and safe drug. its really amazing"
For Muscle Pain "It's for fever and muscle pain. It's the best if you have muscle pain after training or the next day. 30 minutes after taking the pill, you will be just fine."
For Pain "Paracetamol has no pain- relief effect on me, whatsoever."
For Pain "Does not work. Made me more ill than I am"
For Pain "I had a headache and it didn’t help me one tiny bit just made my headache 100x worse"
For Pain "Helps lower my blood sugar. I take 500 mg a day I live in the UK."
For Pain "For me its very good for pain and headache works in 30 minutes with every thing getting better"
