Mechanism Of Action Of Paracetamol & Pseudoephedrine

• Paracetamol acts on the hypothalamus to produce an antipyretic effect, as fever develops when the hypothalamus is set to a higher-than-normal temperature.
• Paracetamol may work peripherally to block pain impulse generation; may also inhibit prostaglandin synthesis in CNS
• Pseudoephedrine is a sympathomimetic with a mixed mechanism of action, direct and indirect.
• Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant used for reducing nasal congestion caused by allergies or the common cold.
• Pseudoephedrine causes blood vessels in the nasal passages to shrink (vasoconstrictor).
