2. What you need to know before you take Adalgur
Do not take Adalgur:
- if you are allergic to paracetamol, tiocolchicoside, or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
- if you have severe liver disease.
- in case of paralysis or muscle weakness.
- if you have a blood disease called severe hemolytic anemia.
- if you are pregnant, may become pregnant, or think you may be pregnant (see section 2 "Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility").
- if you are breastfeeding (see section 2 "Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility").
- if you are a woman of childbearing age who is not using effective contraceptive methods (during treatment and for one month after stopping treatment).
- if you are a man who does not use effective contraceptive measures (during treatment and for three months after stopping treatment).
Warnings and precautions
Strictly follow the dosage and treatment duration indicated in section 3. Do not take this medicine at high doses or for more than 7 days. This is because one of the products formed in your body when taking tiocolchicoside at high doses can damage some cells (abnormal number of chromosomes). This has been demonstrated in animal studies and laboratory studies. In humans, this type of cellular damage is a risk factor for cancer, fetal damage, and reduced male fertility. Consult your doctor if you have any questions.
Your doctor will inform you about all measures related to effective contraceptive methods and the potential risk of pregnancy.
During treatment with Adalgur, immediately inform your doctor if:
- you have epilepsy or are at risk of seizures, as seizures can occur with the use of this medicine.
- you have chronic alcoholism, as you should be careful not to take more than 2 g/day of paracetamol.
- you have liver or kidney problems, including Gilbert's syndrome (mild jaundice),
- you suffer from chronic malnutrition or are dehydrated
- you have any heart or lung disease or suffer from anemia (reduced hemoglobin levels in the blood, due to or not due to a reduction in red blood cells) or have low levels of an enzyme in the blood called glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase.
- you have asthma or have a history of asthma, and/or are sensitive to acetylsalicylic acid.
If you have severe diseases, such as severe renal failure or sepsis (when bacteria and their toxins circulate in the blood, causing damage to organs), or if you suffer from malnutrition, chronic alcoholism, or are also taking flucloxacillin (an antibiotic). A serious disease called metabolic acidosis (an anomaly in the blood and fluids) has been reported in patients in these situations when using paracetamol at regular doses for a prolonged period or when taking paracetamol with flucloxacillin. The symptoms of metabolic acidosis may include: severe breathing difficulties with deep and rapid breathing, drowsiness, feeling unwell (nausea) and vomiting.
Consuming alcoholic beverages can cause paracetamol to damage the liver.
If the pain persists for more than 3 days or worsens or other symptoms appear, treatment should be discontinued and a doctor consulted.
Children and adolescents
This medicine should not be given to children and adolescents under 16 years of age for safety reasons.
Using Adalgur with other medicines
