Administration of paracetamol

Barts & The London NHS Trust · FDA-approved active Small molecule Quality 5/100

Paracetamol, marketed by Barts & The London NHS Trust, is a well-established analgesic and antipyretic with a strong presence in the over-the-counter market. A key strength is the protection provided by the key composition patent, which expires in 2028, offering a period of exclusivity. The primary risk is the potential increase in competition post-patent expiry, which could erode market share and revenue.
