Paracetamol (Also called Acetaminophen) works as an analgesic in horses and it will relive pain, though it has no Anti-Inflammitory properties. This drug can be used to hide lameness in show or sale horses so that judges and buyers will not know that the horse is unsound until they have bought it or pinned it to win. Drug tests do cover this drug and if found the vet will inform the buyer or show association of the drugs presence in the horses system.
