Paracetamol has analgesic and antipyretic e ects that are similar to aspirin, but little or no antiin ammatory activity. It is generally accepted that it has little e ect on extracerebral COX-1 or COX-2, although it inhibits central COX-3. Consequently, it prevents the enhanced synthesis of prostaglandin E2 in the hypothalamus during pyrexia, and thus reduces elevated body temperature. It has s...
