Overview PARACETANAL 170MG SUPPOSITORY

Acetaminophen 170mg suppositories provide relief from pain and fever by inhibiting specific brain chemicals that trigger pain and elevated body temperature. Administered rectally, they are typically prescribed for children unable to swallow oral medications. Ensure bowel evacuation prior to insertion to optimize absorption. Following administration, encourage your child to remain still for at least an hour. Dosage is determined by your child's age, weight, and illness severity; strictly adhere to your doctor's instructions regarding dosage, frequency, and administration. Reapply if a bowel movement occurs within 30 minutes. Avoid combining this medication with other paracetamol-containing products (including many cold, flu, and pain remedies) to prevent overdose and potential liver damage (hepatotoxicity). Always check ingredient lists before administering any other medications concurrently. Do not discontinue treatment prematurely, even if symptoms improve, to prevent recurrence or exacerbation. While generally well-tolerated, temporary side effects like rectal irritation, nausea, vomiting, or constipation may occur; consult your physician if these become problematic. Although generally safe and effective, this medication may not be appropriate for all children. Inform your doctor of any existing blood disorders, drug allergies, birth defects, liver problems, or kidney dysfunction to ensure safe and effective use.
