    Common side effects include:

  • Injection site reactions: Pain, swelling, or redness at the site of the injection.
  • Allergic reactions: Although rare, reactions such as rashes, itching, or anaphylaxis can occur.
  • Liver damage: Paracetamol is metabolized in the liver, and excessive doses or prolonged use can lead to liver toxicity, especially in patients with pre-existing liver conditions or those who consume alcohol regularly.

    Precautions:

  • Liver function: Caution should be used in patients with liver impairment or those with a history of alcohol abuse, as paracetamol is metabolized in the liver. Overdose can cause severe liver damage.
  • Renal function: Patients with renal problems should be monitored.
  • Interactions: Paracetamol can interact with other medications, including anticoagulants like warfarin. Regular monitoring may be needed in patients on chronic anticoagulation therapy.
