Q. Paracetamol is a/an

Jharkhand CECEJharkhand CECE 2007Chemistry in Everyday Life

Solution:

Paracetamol is both analgesic and antipyretic (option B). It is used to relieve headaches and mild pains, thus acting as an analgesic. It has less pain relieving activity when compared to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It is also used to reduce fever. So, it is an antipyretic.
