Paradote was a tablet sold in the UK which combined 500 mg paracetamol with 100 mg methionine, [54] an amino acid formerly [20] used in the treatment of paracetamol overdose. There have been no studies so far on the effectiveness of paracetamol when given in combination with its most commonly used antidote, acetylcysteine. [55]
In recommended doses, the side effects of paracetamol are mild to non-existent. [87] In contrast to aspirin, it is not a blood thinner (and thus may be used in patients where bleeding is a concern), and it does not cause gastric irritation. [88]
Gastric adverse effects may be reduced by taking medications that suppress acid production such as proton pump inhibitors (e.g.: omeprazole and esomeprazole), or by treatment with a drug that mimics prostaglandin in order to restore the lining of the GI tract (e.g.: a prostaglandin analog misoprostol). [40]
Common side effects include dizziness, sleepiness, constipation, and vomiting. [1] [3] Serious side effects include addiction, decreased rate of breathing, low blood pressure, severe allergic reactions, and liver failure. [1] Use during pregnancy may harm the fetus. [1] Use with alcohol is not recommended. [3]
Contrary to NSAIDs, which reduce pain and inflammation by inhibiting COX enzymes, paracetamol has—as early as 2006—been shown to block the reuptake of endocannabinoids, [2] [3] which only reduces pain, likely explaining why it has minimal effect on inflammation; paracetamol is sometimes combined with an NSAID (in place of an opioid) in ...

The use of acid suppression therapy is a common response to GERD symptoms and many people get more of this kind of treatment than their case merits. [50] [57] [58] [52] [51] [59] The overuse of acid suppression is a problem because of the side effects and costs. [50] [58] [52] [51] [59]
