Paracetamol: pharmacodynamics (how it works)
Paracetamol is an analgesic or painkiller as well as an antipyretic (reduces fever). Although it is an old drug, its mode of action is poorly understood. It would have a central (brain and spinal cord) and peripheral mechanism of action.
Paracetamol could act mainly by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins in the central nervous system and, to a lesser extent, by blocking the production of pain impulses in the peripheral system. Peripheral action may also be due to blockade of prostaglandin synthesis or of the synthesis or actions of other substances which sensitize pain receptors to mechanical or chemical stimulation.
