Paracetamol primarily affects the brain, particularly the hypothalamus, where it helps regulate body temperature and alleviate pain. It is thought to inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are chemicals that promote inflammation and pain. While paracetamol is metabolized in the liver, it does not have direct effects on other parts of the body like anti-inflammatory drugs do. Its overall action is systemic, providing relief from pain and fever throughout the body.
