    Paracetamol is a non-opioid analgesic used to treat mild to moderate pain and fever by inhibiting prostaglandins and other substances that sensitize pain receptors and regulating hypothalamic heat centers. It can cause hematologic and hepatic adverse reactions and interact with other drugs. Paracetamol is contraindicated in hypersensitivity and used cautiously in liver disease, and dosing varies based on age and condition.
