Help with AH chemistry project on titration of paracetamol

I'm currently supposed to start looking into writing my risk assessment and procedure for my AH project (Determination of paracetamol in tablets via titration) but I'm struggling to find the method for it online. Does anyone know where I could find the method or even what the method I would use is??

While I did sit advanced higher chemistry I didn’t use paracetamol but most follow the same kind of method. Traditionally for advanced higher a back titration is used, so find a suitable solvent and react the paracetamol with it and then titrate the excess with a reagent that reacts with the solvent in a way that is measurable aka distinct colour change
