How effective are Acetaminophen K tablets 900 mg from Japan for adults and children (paracetamol)?

Acetaminophen (paracetamol) is one of the most famous medicines in the world against fever and pain. It works by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis by reducing the active form of cyclooxygenase enzymes. As it doesn’t irritate the surface of the stomach and doesn’t cause drowsiness, acetaminophen is considered a safe painkiller even for children.

Who should use Acetaminophen K tablets 900 mg from Japan?

Acetaminophen K tablets are effective for the treatment of fever, feeling cold and various types of pain, including headache, menstrual pain, toothache, pain after tooth extraction, sore throat, ear pain, joint pain, nerve pain, low back pain, muscle pain, stiff shoulder pain, bruise pain, fracture pain, sprain pain and trauma pain. Studies showed that for tooth pain and pain after the tooth extraction acetaminophen is more effective than ibuprofen (E. Bailey, H. V. Worthington et al. "Ibuprofen and/or paracetamol (acetaminophen) for pain relief after surgical removal of lower wisdom teeth". Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2013, (12): CD004624). However, if the pain doesn’t stop after taking the medicine 5-6 times, stop taking it and consult with your doctor again.
