Paracetamol in overweight and obese children
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how the body processes paracetamol (a common pain reliever) in children who are overweight or obese. It helps doctors find the right dose for children having surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests if a new medicine called UBT251 changes how the body processes caffeine, midazolam (a sedative), and warfarin (a blood thinner). It is for generally healthy adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) between 27 and 40.
This study compares how anesthetic medications behave in the bodies of people with normal weight versus overweight or obese patients undergoing surgery. Understanding these differences may help doctors choose safer anesthesia doses for each patient.
This trial studies how the body processes intravenous paracetamol (Tylenol) in people with and without obesity. It aims to find the right dose for safety and effectiveness during laparoscopic surgery.
This study measures how two common medications—paracetamol (pain reliever) and cefazolin (antibiotic)—move through the body differently in children who are normal weight versus overweight. Researchers will take small blood samples during routine surgery to understand the best doses for each child.
This study looks at how your body absorbs paracetamol (acetaminophen) after planned weight-loss surgery. It may help doctors better guide pain- and fever-medication dosing after gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy.
This trial looks at how paracetamol (a common painkiller) affects certain chemicals in the body and blood pressure. It may help people with migraines or those having wisdom tooth surgery.
