Paracetamol products are suitable for most people including the elderly and young children. Interactions with other treatments are not a problem, and they can generally be taken by people who are sensitive to aspirin. Paracetamol is well tolerated by people with peptic ulcers and in general those who suffer from asthma.
Liquid paracetamol products are particularly suitable for children, and can be given to babies to treat the raised temperature that may follow immunisation. For treating other conditions in children under three months old a doctor's advice should be sought.
Paracetamol products can normally be used during pregnancy although it is always wise to ask your doctor about taking any medicines at this time, and mothers who are breast feeding may use paracetamol products.
Because of their effectiveness and lack of side-effects paracetamol products are frequently prescribed in hospitals and are the treatment of choice for relieving mild to moderate pain in specialist liver units.
