How Lg Para T works

Paracetamol inhibits prostaglandin synthesis primarily in the central nervous system, which reduces pain perception and lowers fever by acting on the hypothalamic heat-regulating center. It has minimal anti-inflammatory effect at usual doses.

How to take Lg Para T

Tablet: Take as advised by a doctor. Common adult use: 1 tablet as needed for pain/fever; keep a gap of at least 4–6 hours between doses. Can be taken with or without food; take with food if gastric upset occurs. Do not exceed the maximum daily dose (generally 3,000–4,000 mg/day from all paracetamol-containing products).

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