Paracetamol is indicated to treat fever and light to moderate pain. It is used in case of headache, body, toothache, back pain, menstrual cramps and pain associated with colds. It is part of the list of products that do not require prescription and is one of the few allowed during pregnancy.

Brazilian drug registration standards follow rigorous technical and scientific criteria, which ensure the quality, safety and effectiveness of these medicines (…) we reinforce that every medicine should be used with guidance from health professionals, such as doctors or pharmaceuticals, to ensure their effectiveness and prevent unwanted effects.
