Cold powders: paracetamol poisoning

Abstract

In today's world, where medical science and pharmacy are rapidly developing, one of the most widely used drugs is paracetamol (N-acetyl para-aminophenol). Believing it to be effective and safe when used appropriately, people undoubtedly take it in large doses, which often leads to serious consequences. Violation of dosage and exceeding the recommended intake can lead to serious consequences. One of these consequences is potentially fatal poisoning, which can occur when paracetamol in powder form is used for self-medication and as a result of accidental overdose.
