Remedol has analgesic and antipyretic properties. Analgesia is produced by elevation of the pain threshold and antipyresis through action on the hypothalamic heat-regulating center.
 
Paracetamol is equal to Aspirin in analgesic and antipyretic effectiveness and it is unlikely to produce many of the side-effects associated with Aspirin.
 
Remedol does not cause gastric irritation, is well absorbed and is effective for about 4 hours. It is metabolized in the liver.
 
Remedol suppositories are indicated for the treatment of conditions associated with fever and pain in children and infants such as tonsillitis, headache, reactions after vaccination, colds, influenza, myalgia and pain following tonsillectomy.
