1. What are the effects of Agimol 80mg?
Agimol 80 ingredients in each 1g pack contains Paracetamol 80 mg in the form of granules mixed with oral suspension.
1.1. Pharmacodynamics of Agimol 80mg Paracetamol is a non-steroidal antipyretic analgesic. Paracetamol (also known as Acetaminophen or N - acetyl - p - aminophenol) is the active metabolite of Phenacetin. This is an effective pain reliever and fever reducer that can replace aspirin. However, unlike aspirin, paracetamol is not effective in treating inflammation. In equal doses in grams, Paracetamol has analgesic and antipyretic effects similar to that of Aspirin. Paracetamol with therapeutic doses has little impact on the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, does not change the acid-base balance, does not cause irritation, scratches or stomach bleeding like when using preparations containing salicylates. The reason is that Paracetamol has no effect on systemic Cyclooxygenase, but only affects Cyclooxygenase/Prostaglandin of the central nervous system. Paracetamol has no effect on platelets or bleeding time. 1.2. Pharmacokinetics of the drug Agimol 80mg Absorption: Agimol 80 is rapidly and almost completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Peak plasma concentrations are reached within 30 to 60 minutes after a therapeutic dose of Agimol 80. Distribution: Agimol 80 is rapidly and uniformly distributed into most body tissues. Approximately 25% of paracetamol in the blood is bound to plasma proteins. Metabolism ability: Agimol 80 is metabolized in cytochrome P450 in the liver to form N - acetyl benzoquinonimin as an intermediate, which continues to conjugate with the Sulfydryl group of Glutathion to produce inactive substances. Elimination ability: Agimol 80 is mainly excreted in the urine as metabolites, with a clearance of 19.3 l/h. The half-life is about 2.5 hours on average. When Agimol 80 is used in high doses (>10 g/day), it will generate a lot of N - acetyl benzoquinonomin that depletes liver glutathione, then N - acetyl benzoquinonimin will react with the sulfydride group of liver proteins causing liver damage, liver necrosis, which can be life-threatening if not treated promptly. 1.3. Effects of Agimol 80 Drug Agimol 80 reduces body temperature in febrile individuals, but rarely in normal subjects. Agimol 80 acts on the hypothalamus causing hypothermia, increased heat release due to vasodilation and increased peripheral blood flow.

Attention should be paid to the potential for severe hypothermia in patients concomitantly receiving Agimol 80 with phenothiazines and antipyretic therapy. Anticonvulsants such as Phenytoin, Barbiturates, Carbamazepine induce enzymes in the liver microsomes, which can increase the hepatotoxicity of paracetamol by increasing the metabolism of the drug into substances that are toxic to the liver.
