Side Effects of Crocin Advance Tablet 20

Crocin Advance Tablet may have the following common side effects:

Nausea

Vomiting
Stomach pain
Allergic reactions: These can include symptoms like rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness and difficulty breathing.
Liver damage: You might notice symptoms such as yellowing of skin or eyes, dark urine, severe stomach pain, and vomiting.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which are resolved by discontinuing the use of Crocin Advance Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Stomach pain: Consider taking a light diet for a few days.

Crocin Advance Tablet contains paracetamol (500 mg), which works within your body as follows:

Prostaglandin Inhibition: Paracetamol works by suppressing the production of prostaglandins, chemicals in your body that cause pain and inflammation. By doing so, it effectively reduces discomfort.
Fever Reduction: This medicine acts on the heat-regulating centre of the brain. It promotes heat loss through widening of blood vessels (vasodilation) and sweating, thereby reducing fever.
Pain Threshold Increase: Paracetamol increases the threshold at which you feel pain. This means that after taking this medicine, a higher level of pain stimulus is needed for you to actually feel the pain. This makes existing pain more tolerable.
