Paracetamol belongs to one of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic drugs. It is usually made into suppositories to increase the safety of medication for children or to avoid the first-pass effect, minimizing the impact on children's liver and kidneys. Paracetamol plays the role of antipyresis and analgesia, also known as acetaminophen. Through rectal administration, it can reduce the first-pass effect. Due to its antipyretic and analgesic effects, the antipyretic effect should not be used continuously for more than 3 days, and the analgesic effect should not be used for more than 5 days.
