At children of 3-10 years the metabolite paracetamol sulfate is formed, and teenagers have 12 years — the conjugated glucuronide. These metabolites block enzymes of hepatocytes if children have a lack of glutathione and can cause a necrosis of cells of a liver. A drug elimination half-life — 1,5-2,5 hours. During the day with urine about 95% are excreted. Speed of elimination of paracetamol does not depend on age.
