Paracetamol is a brand name for Acetaminophin, or APAP. APAP is not an NSAID. NSAID stands for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, paracetamol, however is not an anti-inflammatory drug. But it has anti-pyretic and analgesic properties.

No. Unlike aspirin and other non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs NSAIDs such as ibuprofin, Paracetamol acts in the brain, blocking an enzyme involved in the transmission of pain. Paracetamol is a popular analgesic and antipyretic drug used for relieving fever, headaches, and other minor aches and pains.
