Warnings and precautions
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Antidol.
Paracetamol should be used with special caution in the following situations:
- Do not take more medicine than recommended in section 3 How to take Antidol.
- If you have liver problems, including liver problems due to excessive alcohol consumption (3 or more alcoholic beverages per day).
- If you have a deficiency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase.
- If you have anorexia, bulimia, cachexia, or chronic malnutrition;
- If you suffer from dehydration or hypovolemia.
- If you are taking a medicine to treat epilepsy, you should consult your doctor before taking this medicine, as when used at the same time, the efficacy of paracetamol is decreased and hepatotoxicity is increased, especially in high-dose paracetamol treatments (see below in the section Other medicines and Antidol).
- If you have Gilbert's disease (also known as Meulengracht's disease).
- If you have heart, respiratory, or anemia failure; in these situations, administration should be carried out under surveillance and only for short periods.
- If you have asthma and are sensitive to acetylsalicylic acid.
- Paracetamol can cause serious skin reactions, such as acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis(AGEP), Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN), which can be fatal. Patients should be informed about the signs of serious skin reactions, and the use of the medicine should be discontinued at the first symptom of skin rash or any other sign of hypersensitivity.
- The total dose of paracetamol should not exceed 3 g per day.
- Concomitant use of this medicine with other medicines containing paracetamol, such as flu and cold medicines, should be avoided, as high doses can cause liver damage. Do not use more than one medicine containing paracetamol without consulting your doctor. If an overdose occurs, seek medical attention immediately (see "If you take more Antidol than you should").
- If you have kidney problems, due to its content of 1 g of paracetamol, you cannot take this medicine. Those with liver, heart, or lung disease and patients with anemia will need to consult their doctor before taking this medicine.
- 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 have malnutrition, chronic alcoholism, or are also taking flucloxacillin (an antibiotic). A serious disease called metabolic acidosis (an anomaly in blood and fluids) has been reported in patients in these situations when paracetamol is used at regular doses for a prolonged period or when paracetamol is taken with flucloxacillin. The symptoms of metabolic acidosis may include: severe breathing difficulties with deep and rapid breathing, drowsiness, feeling unwell (nausea) and vomiting.
The administration of paracetamol doses higher than recommended implies a very serious risk of liver damage.
Medicines containing paracetamol should not be taken for more than a few days or in high doses unless indicated by your doctor. If the pain persists for more than 5 days, the fever for more than 3 days, or the pain or fever worsens or other symptoms appear, you should discontinue treatment and consult your doctor.
Prolonged use of analgesics or inadequate use of high doses can cause headaches, which should not be treated with higher doses of the medicine.
Children and adolescents

Paracetamol may alter the values of analytical determinations of uric acid and glucose.
