Paracetamol is the principal active metabolite of phenacetin & acetanilide, but is associated with less toxicity. Paracetamol reduces fever by direct action on the hypothalamus heat-regulating centers. Paracetamol is almost as potent as aspirin in inhibiting prostaglandin synthetase in the CNS, but its peripheral inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis is minimal, Paracetamol exerts a strong analgesic effect by raising the threshold of response to pain stimuli .Generally the antipyretic & analgesic effects of Paracetamol & aspirin are comparable, but Paracetamol does not inhibit platelet aggregation, affect prothrombin response or produce GI ulceration.
