Paracetamol accounts for half a billion boxes in France

Paracetamol is a chemical compound used as an analgesic and antipyretic that forms the basis of the most consumed medications in France. Its three main brands, which are Doliprane, Dafalgan, and Efferalgan, total more than 500 million boxes in 2025. This omnipresence is explained by its popularity and its fewer contraindications compared to other analgesics.
