About Paracad 150 mg Injection 2 ml

Paracad 150 mg Injection 2 ml belongs to the group of medicines called analgesic and antipyretic agents, primarily used to relieve mild to moderate pain and to treat fever. Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, which causes uncomfortable sensations in the body. Fever occurs when the body's temperature goes above the average body temperature (98.6°F or 37°C).

Paracad 150 mg Injection 2 ml contains 'Paracetamol,' which prevents the formation of chemical messengers called prostaglandins, which cause pain and swelling at the injury sites. This process reduces the mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site.
