How G-Para-IV 100 ml works

Paracetamol reduces pain and fever by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis in the central nervous system. It acts on the hypothalamic heat-regulating center to lower body temperature and raises pain threshold to provide analgesia.

For intravenous infusion only; administer as per doctor’s prescription, usually as a slow IV infusion over about 15 minutes. Dose is based on age/weight and total daily paracetamol from all sources; can be given with or without food (not applicable). Do not mix with other medicines in the same IV line unless compatibility is confirmed.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
