Pharmacological action
Pharmacodynamics: Paracetamol has analgesic and antipyretic effects. The drug blocks cyclooxygenase in the central nervous system, affecting the centers of pain and thermoregulation. In inflamed tissues, cellular peroxidases neutralize the effect of paracetamol on cyclooxygenase, which explains the absence of a significant anti-inflammatory effect.
The absence of a blocking effect on the synthesis of prostaglandins in peripheral tissues causes it to have a negative effect on water-salt metabolism (sodium and water retention) and the gastrointestinal mucosa.
Pharmacokinetics: Absorption high, rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. The period of reaching maximum concentration is 30-60 minutes. Penetrates through the blood-brain barrier. The bioavailability in children and infants is similar to that in adults. Metabolized in the liver. The elimination half-life is 2-3 hours. Within 24 hours, 85-95% of paracetamol is excreted by the kidneys in the form of glucuronides and sulfates, unchanged – 3%. There is no significant age-related difference in the rate of elimination of paracetamol and in the total amount of the drug that is excreted in the urine.
Indications
Used in children from 3 months to 12 years of age as:
antipyretic for acute respiratory infections, flu, childhood infections, post-vaccination reactions and other conditions accompanied by fever
painkiller for mild to moderate pain, including headache, toothache, muscle pain, neuralgia, pain with injuries and burns.
In children from 1 to 3 months, a single dose of the drug is possible to reduce the temperature after vaccination, the use of the drug for all indications is possible only as directed by the doctor.
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity, neonatal period (up to 1 month).
Precautions
Renal and hepatic failure, benign hyperbilirubinemia (including Gilbert syndrome), viral hepatitis, alcoholic liver damage, alcoholism, pregnancy, lactation, genetic absence of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, concomitant use of other paracetamol-containing drugs.
Special instructions
If you continue to have a fever of more than 3 days and a pain syndrome of more than 5 days, you should consult your doctor.
The simultaneous use of paracetamol with other paracetamol-containing drugs should be avoided, as this may cause an overdose of paracetamol.
When using the drug for more than 5-7 days, peripheral blood counts and the functional state of the liver should be monitored. Paracetamol distorts the performance of laboratory tests in the quantitative determination of glucose and uric acid in plasma.
Composition
One suppository contains: the active substance is paracetamol – 50 mg, 100 mg or 250 mg of the basis for suppositories: solid fat (vitepsol, supposir) – to obtain a suppository weighing 1.25 g.
Dosage and administration
Rectally. After spontaneous emptying of the intestine or cleansing enema, the suppository is freed from the blister strip packaging and introduced into the rectum. The dosage of the drug is calculated depending on age and body weight, in accordance with the table. A single dose is 10-15 mg / kg of the child s body weight, 2-3 times a day, after 4-6 hours. The maximum daily dose of paracetamol should not exceed 60 mg / kg of body weight of the child.

Side effects
Allergic reactions (including skin rash).
Drug interactions
Stimulators of microsomal oxidation in the liver (phenytoin, ethanol, barbiturates, flumecinol, rifampicin, phenylbutazone, tricyclic antidepressants), ethanol and hepatotoxic drugs increase the production of hydroxylated, heavy metabolites and the development of active metabolites. Microsomal oxidation inhibitors (including cimetidine) reduce the risk of hepatotoxicity. When taken with salicylates, the nephrotoxic effect of paracetamol increases. The combination with chloramphenicol leads to an increase in the toxic properties of the latter. It enhances the effect of indirect anticoagulants, reduces the effectiveness of uricosuric drugs.
Overdose
Symptoms: during the first 24 hours after administration – pallor of the skin, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, abdominal pain, impaired glucose metabolism, metabolic acidosis. Symptoms of impaired liver function may appear 12-48 hours after an overdose. In severe overdose – liver failure with progressive encephalopathy, coma, death, acute renal failure with tubular necrosis (including in the absence of severe liver damage) arrhythmia, pancreatitis. Hepatotoxic effect in adults is manifested when taking 10 g or more.
Treatment: administration of SH-group donors and precursors of glutathione-methionine synthesis 8-9 hours after an overdose and N-acetylcysteine 12 hours later. The need for further therapeutic measures (further administration of methionine, intravenous administration of N-acetylcysteine) is determined depending on the concentration of paracetamol in the blood, as well as the time elapsed after its administration.
