Paracetamol 500mg Tablets: What the Published Guidance Says
The three non-opioid analgesics named on the WHO Model List — paracetamol, ibuprofen and acetylsalicylic acid — in the full range of oral, rectal and injectable presentations, plus the wider NSAID family.
Paracetamol 500mg Tablets is specified against its own monograph, pack size and market registration, so the guidance below is worth reading together with the Analgesics & NSAIDs range overview.
- Paracetamol is an antipyretic and analgesic — not an anti-inflammatory The Model List carries a footnote stating paracetamol is not recommended for anti-inflammatory use due to lack of proven benefit to that effect. Marketing copy that positions paracetamol as an anti-inflammatory is inconsistent with the WHO listing. WHO Model List of Essential Medicines, 24th List (2025) — report of the 25th WHO Expert Committee (TRS 1064)
- Fever control is part of severe-disease management MSF guidance on severe malaria directs paracetamol in the event of high fever only — a reminder that in febrile illness the antipyretic is supportive care, not the disease treatment. MSF Medical Guidelines — Malaria (Chapter 4.3, Parasitic infections)
- Age limits worth building into your labelling Ibuprofen is not indicated in children less than three months of age according to the Model List. Paediatric paracetamol dosing should follow national formulary weight bands. WHO Model List of Essential Medicines, 24th List (2025) — report of the 25th WHO Expert Committee (TRS 1064)
Each point above is reproduced because it has a practical consequence for Paracetamol 500mg Tablets: the strength you can register, the pack you can release, or the wording permitted on the label. Your national prescribing information always takes precedence.
