Pcm 500mg Strip Of 10 Tablets
Pcm 500 MG Description
PCM 500 tablet is used to provide temporary relief from fever, pain and aches. It contains paracetamol, also known as acetaminophen which is an analgesic (painkillers) or antipyretic (medicines used
to reduce fever). Paracetamol stops the release of a natural chemical substance, prostaglandins responsible for pain and fever. You should not take more than 4-tablets of the PCM tablet in 24 hours. Take PCM 500 with food to avoid stomach upset. If you feel that your pain and fever are relieved, do not take this medicine anymore. If you have liver and kidney problems, consult your doctor before taking this medicine. PCM 500 tablet is not meant for children under 12 years of age.
