Paracetamol is a group of medicines called analgesics (pain killers), and antipyretics (fever-reducing agents) used to reduce fever and treat mild to moderate pain. Also, it relieves headaches, migraine, toothache, period pain, back pain, muscle pain, and rheumatic pains. Pain and fever are caused by the activation of pain receptors due to the release of certain natural chemicals in the body like prostaglandin.

It contains 'Paracetamol' that works by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the brain known as prostaglandins. Thus, reducing pain. Also, it affects an area of the brain that regulates body temperature, known as the hypothalamic heat-regulating centre. Thus, reducing fever.
