Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

I recently took Parecetamol IP P-500 pills for my headache, and I came across an article suggesting that these pills might contain the Machupo virus. Is this true? Should I be concerned?

 

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

There is no scientific basis or credible evidence to suggest that Parecetamol IP P-500 pills contain the Machupo virus. Parecetamol, also known as paracetamol or acetaminophen, is a widely used over-the-counter medication for relieving pain and reducing fever. The Machupo virus is associated with a specific type of hemorrhagic fever found in certain regions, but it is not related to common medications like paracetamol. If you have any concerns about your medication, it's always a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider. They can provide more specific advice based on your medical history and needs.

 

Thanks
