Paracetamol doesn't have any significant anti-inflammatory effects. It's just an analgesic (painkiller).
There's even some interesting research on exactly /why/ it isn't - but like many drugs there's not really consensus on how exactly it works (a summary is available: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1460-9592.2008.02764.x https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1460-9592.... )
I've seen lots of people confuse paracetamol and ibuprofen - maybe that's what's happened here?
- tbalsam 6y agoI touched on it in my other comment -- I got hung up on its CB1... Agonism, I believe? Which I'd always asserted was strictly inflammatory in addition to maybe any other analgesic side effects. I'll hold it in some level of mystery until I can figure out what the divide is founded on, it's certainly an unexpected result from my perspective. Thanks for clarifying, much appreciated! :)
