Basic Information

Mechanism Of Action

Paracetamol has a central analgesic effect that is mediated through activation of descending serotonergic pathways. Debate exists about its primary site of action, which may be inhibition of prostaglandin (PG) synthesis or through an active metabolite influencing cannabinoid receptors

Analgesics can inhibit the sensation of pain by inhibiting transmission of non-nociceptive impulses along primary afferents or by altering the perception of pain

Tramadol modulates the descending pain pathways within the central nervous system through the binding of parent and M1 metabolite to μ-opioid receptors and the weak inhibition of the reuptake of norepinephrine and serotonin

Pharmacokinets

Tramadol is rapidly distributed in the body; plasma protein binding is about 20%. Tramadol is mainly metabolised by O- and N-demethylation and by conjugation reactions forming glucuronides and sulfates. Tramadol and its metabolites are mainly excreted via the kidneys. The mean elimination half-life is about 6 hours

Paracetamol is readily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract with peak plasma concentrations occurring about 30 minutes to 2 hours after ingestion. It is metabolised in the liver (90-95%) and excreted in the urine mainly as the glucuronide and sulphate conjugates. Less than 5% is excreted as unchanged paracetamol.

Acetaminophen has a high oral bioavailability (88%), it is well absorbed and reaches the peak blood concentrations within 90 minutes after ingestion.

APAP is not widely bound to plasma proteins, and has a plasma half-life of 1.5–2.5 hours at the recommended doses
