How Do Drugs Work: Paracetamol and Ibuprofen

Maria Fernandes (Member, Young Pharmacologists Committee) describes how Paracetamol and Ibuprofen work in treating pain

[InsanitiesBrother]

Randomly going on a medicine learning tour on youtube. TIL how Ibuprofen & Paracetamol work, the different medical uses of steroids and how to apply compresses correctly. Very random I must say, but oddly enjoyable. Covid bringing the fun out in understanding modern medicine.

So they dont heal, they just block the signal that tells you that something is wrong.

Paracetamols are very effective on me, I had a bad headache this afternoon and took two 500mgs tabs, and in seconds it was gone, I always wondered how they work!

[MsShazberry]

Paracetamol took away my toothache pain completely in just half an hour whilst resting! Green tea also helps with headaches etc :)

[TheAllyMor]

That was very clearly presented. Thanks.

The sense of relief i feel is insane. After a football match, from time to time i suffer from shin splints or shin pain. I csnt sleep with this pain. But the sense of relief i felt after taking a paracetamol tablet is too good. Its like i feel enlightened, a whole new person.

If we can bear the Pain, is it necessary to use these pain killers.

Paracetamol works well against tooth pain.

Medical science has a long way to go, Blocking pain signals to your brain is not the solution, enhancing the brain to perform its operation more efficiently is the key :)

[sidhzzz]

Who are seeing this after taking peracatamol in covid season ...

[lfcmonkeyyyman]

Well explained, but I wish you had looked directly at the camera, rather than looking to one side of it... makes it feel like you're talking to someone to the right and behind me 😄

[MrXavierRose]

Paracetamol just doesn't work for me...

[WLHS]

Was thalidomide similar to paracetamol?

[gregoryfenn]

I came looking to learn how paracetamol works, I am super disappointed...

[FerricWolf]

I only take painkillers if I think it's unwarranted pain, or if I've already done all I can to remedy the cause.
