Used primarily as a pain reliever and fever reducer, it is widely available in over-the-counter medications. It is effective in treating mild to moderate pain, such as headaches, muscle aches, toothaches, and arthritis. It is also commonly used to reduce fever in both adults and children. Due to its safety profile when used as directed, it is often recommended for individuals who cannot take other pain relievers like NSAIDs. It is frequently included in combination products for cold and flu symptoms to alleviate associated discomfort and fever.
