About PCM Injection 2 ml

PCM Injection 2 ml belongs to the group of medicines called analgesic and antipyretic agents, primarily used to relieve mild to moderate pain and to treat fever. Pain is a symptom triggered by the nervous system, which causes uncomfortable sensations in the body. Fever occurs when the body's temperature goes above the average body temperature (98.6°F or 37°C).

PCM Injection 2 ml contains 'Paracetamol,' which prevents the formation of chemical messengers called prostaglandins, which cause pain and swelling at the injury sites. This process reduces the mild to moderate pain and inflammation at the injured or damaged site. PCM Injection 2 ml also affects an area of the brain that regulates body temperature known as the hypothalamic heat-regulating centre. Thus, it reduces fever.

Your doctor will decide the dose and duration of PCM Injection 2 ml based on the severity of your medical condition. Common side effects of PCM Injection 2 ml include constipation, nausea, and vomiting. These side effects are not familiar to everyone and vary individually. If you notice any side effects that are not manageable, please consult your doctor.

Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of the components of PCM Injection 2 ml. Let your doctor know if you use any other pain killers before starting this medicine. Inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney diseases, malnutrition, dehydration, and a history of alcoholism before starting PCM Injection 2 ml. It is essential to let your doctor know if you are pregnant, planning to conceive or are a breastfeeding mother. It is not recommended to consume alcohol while using PCM Injection 2 ml.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Pain: It is not a disease but a symptom triggered by the nervous system, causing uncomfortable sensations in the body. Pain may be dull or sharp; it might be constant or may come and go. The tolerance level of pain might vary from person to person. Pain can be generalized (overall body aches) or localized (affecting a specific area of the body).

Fever: When the body's temperature goes above the average temperature of 98.6°F (37°C), it is called fever or pyrexia. It is considered as a response of the body's immune system to external factors.
