It is indicated for headaches, fever, minor pains, and menstrual cramps. 2) Adverse effects include hematologic, hepatic, metabolic and skin issues. Nursing responsibilities include monitoring for adverse effects, checking for drug interactions, and educating patients on proper use. 3) Paracetamol should not be used in patients with known hypersensitivity and may interact with other drugs to reduce therapeutic effects or enhance toxicity, especially with long term high dose use.
