Painkiller Types: When Paracetamol, Ibuprofen or Others Are Usually Chosen

Dard ke time log chemist se random “strong” medicine maang lete hain, lekin har painkiller ka role alag hai. Sabse common naam – paracetamol aur ibuprofen.

Paracetamol mostly pain relief + fever kam karne ke liye use hota hai. Headache, mild body ache, flu-type discomfort, ya fever ke case me first-line option hota hai. Stomach pe usually gentle hota hai, isliye kaafi logon ko suit karta hai—lekin dose limit yahan bhi important hai; overdose dangerous ho sakti hai.

Ibuprofen ek NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory) hai, jo pain + inflammation dono me useful hai—jaise sprain, joint pain, period pain, dental pain, etc. Lekin ye stomach, kidneys, BP pe effect daal sakta hai, specially long-term ya high-dose use me. Isliye sabke liye “safe default” nahi.

Combination tablets jisme multiple painkillers, caffeine, muscle relaxant, etc. mixed hote hain, short term relief de sakte hain, but daily habit risky hoti hai.

Agar dard baar-baar aa raha ho, pattern consistent ho, ya severe ho, to har baar sirf painkiller lena aur cause ignore karna smart nahi. Doctor cause identify karke targeted treatment suggest kar sakta hai, jisse painkillers par dependency kam ho.
