Paracetamol (Panadol, Calpol, Alvedon) is an analgesic and antipyretic drug that is used to temporarily relieve mild-to-moderate pain and fever. It is commonly included as an ingredient in cold and flu medications and is also used on its own.
It is not clear exactly how paracetamol works. However, it is thought to work by blocking chemical messengers in the brain that let us know when we’re in pain and by affecting the chemical messengers that regulate our body temperature.
