About Parafast Injection

Parafast Injection is used to relieve mild to moderate pain and to treat fever. Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, which causes uncomfortable sensations in the body. Fever occurs when the body's temperature goes above the average body temperature (98.6°F or 37°C).

Parafast Injection works by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the brain known as prostaglandins, reducing pain. Additionally, Parafast Injection affects an area of the brain that regulates body temperature, known as the hypothalamic heat-regulating centre, which reduces fever.

These side effects are not familiar to everyone and vary individually. If you notice any side effects that are not manageable, please consult your doctor.
