How Parafast Pineapple Flavour Paediatric Drops 15 ml Works

Parafast Pineapple Flavour Paediatric Drops 15 ml contains paracetamol. This medicine works primarily in the central nervous system to block the chemical messengers that transmit pain signals to the brain. By reducing the production of these messengers, it effectively raises your pain threshold, meaning your body feels pain less intensely. To lower a fever, the medicine acts on the heat-regulating centre of the brain. It triggers the body to release excess heat by dilating blood vessels and increasing sweating, which helps safely bring your body temperature back down to a normal, comfortable level.
