🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionParacetamol is rapidly and almost completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration. Racemethionine is also absorbed from the gut. Food may delay the absorption of paracetamol slightly but does not significantly reduce the total amount absorbed.

DistributionParacetamol distributes widely into most body tissues, with relatively low binding to plasma proteins. Racemethionine distributes into tissues and is taken up by the liver, where it is used for glutathione synthesis.

Protein BindingParacetamol: about 10-25% bound to plasma proteins. Racemethionine: not established from the available information.

MetabolismParacetamol is metabolized primarily in the liver by conjugation with glucuronic acid and sulphate. A small portion is oxidized by cytochrome P450 enzymes (mainly CYP2E1) to a toxic intermediate, N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine (NAPQI), which is normally detoxified by glutathione. Racemethionine is metabolized to cysteine and then to glutathione, supporting the detoxification of NAPQI.

Half-LifeParacetamol: approximately 2-3 hours in adults with normal liver function. Racemethionine: not established from the available information.

ExcretionParacetamol and its metabolites are excreted mainly in the urine. Racemethionine metabolites are also excreted in urine.

BioavailabilityParacetamol: approximately 80-100% after oral administration. Racemethionine: not established from the available information.

Onset of ActionParacetamol: pain relief begins within 30-60 minutes; fever reduction begins within 30-60 minutes. Racemethionine: onset of liver support is not immediate and depends on glutathione synthesis.

Peak Plasma TimeParacetamol: 0.5-2 hours after oral intake. Racemethionine: not established from the available information.

Duration of ActionParacetamol: pain relief and fever reduction last about 4-6 hours. Racemethionine: duration of action is not established from the available information.

How It Works

Paracetamol reduces pain and fever mainly by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis in the central nervous system. It acts on the hypothalamus to lower fever and on pain pathways to increase the pain threshold. Racemethionine is a precursor of cysteine and helps in the synthesis of glutathione, a major antioxidant in the liver. By supporting glutathione levels, racemethionine helps protect liver cells from damage caused by toxic metabolites, including those formed from paracetamol when taken in excess.

Mechanism Steps

1

Central COX inhibition: Paracetamol inhibits cyclooxygenase enzymes in the central nervous system, reducing prostaglandin production.

2

Reduced pain signaling: Lower prostaglandin levels decrease pain impulse transmission and raise the pain threshold.

3

Fever reduction: Paracetamol acts on the hypothalamus to promote heat loss and lower body temperature.

4

Glutathione support: Racemethionine is converted to cysteine, which is used to synthesize glutathione, a key antioxidant.

5

Liver protection: Increased glutathione helps neutralize toxic metabolites and reduces oxidative damage to liver cells.
