DESCRIPTION
UPHAMOL
TABLET 500MG
PHARMACOKINETICS
INDICATIONS
PHARMACODYNAMICS
A 12mm diameter, round, flat, embossed ‘UPHAMOL’ white tablet.
Each tablet contains Paracetamol
500 mg.
For relief of pain and fever.
Analgesic: The mechanism of analgesic action has not been fully
determined. Paracetamol may act
predominantly by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis in the central
nervous system (CNS) and to
lesser extent, through a peripheral action by blocking pain-impulse
generation. The peripheral action
may also be due to inhibiting of prostaglandin synthesis or to
inhibition of the synthesis of action of
other substances that sensitize pain receptors.
Antipyretic: Paracetamol probably produces antipyresis by acting
centrally on the hypothalamic heat
regulating center to produce peripheral vasolidation resulting in
increased blood flow through the
skin, sweating and heat loss. The central action probably involves
inhibition of prostaglandin
synthesis in the hypothalamus.
Paracetamol is rapidly and almost completely absorbed after oral
administration. Approximately
90-95% of a dose is metabolized in the liver, primarily by conjugation
with glucoronic acid, sulfuric
acid and cysteine. Peak concentration can be achieved within 0.5-2
hours. Paracetamol is excreted
primarily as conjugates via the kidney.
