Warnings and precautions

Do not take more than the recommended dose in section 3. How to take Dolocatil.

In patients with asthma who are sensitive to acetylsalicylic acid, you should consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

If you have any liver, kidney, heart, or lung disease, or if you have anemia (reduced hemoglobin levels in the blood, due to or not due to a reduction in red blood cells), you should consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

When you are being treated with any medicine for epilepsy, you should consult your doctor before taking this medicine, because when they are used at the same time, the efficacy of paracetamol is reduced and its hepatotoxicity is increased, especially in treatments with high doses of paracetamol.

In chronic alcoholics, you should be cautious not to take more than 2 g/24 hours of paracetamol.

If the pain persists for more than 5 days, the fever for more than 3 days, or if the pain or fever worsens or other symptoms appear, you should consult your doctor and re-evaluate the clinical situation.

In children under 15 years of age, consult your doctor or pharmacist, as there are other presentations with doses that are suitable for this group of patients.

During treatment with Dolocatil, inform your doctor immediately if:

  • 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 if you are also taking flucloxacillin (an antibiotic). A severe disease called metabolic acidosis (an anomaly in the 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 respiratory distress with deep and rapid breathing, drowsiness, feeling of discomfort (nausea) and vomiting.

Other medicines and Dolocatil:

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using or have recently used any other medicines, including those obtained without a prescription.

Paracetamol may interact with the following medicines:

  • Medicines to prevent blood clots: Oral anticoagulants (acenocoumarol, warfarin)
  • Medicines to treat epilepsy: Antiepileptics (lamotrigine, phenytoin or other hydantoins, phenobarbital, methylphenobarbital, primidone, carbamazepine)
  • Medicines to treat tuberculosis: (isoniazid, rifampicin)
  • Medicines to treat depression and convulsions: Barbiturates (used as hypnotics, sedatives, and anticonvulsants)
  • Medicines to lower cholesterol levels in the blood: (cholestyramine)
  • Medicines used to increase urine elimination (loop diuretics such as furosemide)
  • Medicines used to treat gout (probenecid and sulfinpyrazone)
  • Medicines used to prevent nausea and vomiting: Metoclopramide and domperidone
  • Medicines used to treat high blood pressure and heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias): Propranolol.
  • Flucloxacillin (antibiotic), due to a serious risk of blood and fluid anomaly (called metabolic acidosis) that requires urgent treatment (see section 2).

Do not use with other analgesics (pain-relieving medicines) without consulting your doctor.

As a general rule for any medicine, it is recommended to systematically inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are being treated with another medicine. In the case of treatment with oral anticoagulants, it can be administered occasionally as the analgesic of choice.

Interference with laboratory tests:

If you are going to have any laboratory tests (including blood tests, urine tests, skin tests that use allergens, etc.), inform your doctor that you are taking this medicine, as it may alter the results of these tests.

Taking Dolocatil with food, drinks, and alcohol

The use of paracetamol in patients who habitually consume alcohol (three or more alcoholic beverages per day: beer, wine, liquor... per day) may cause liver damage.

Taking this medicine with food does not affect its efficacy.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding:

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.

Taking medicines during pregnancy can be dangerous for the embryo or fetus and should be monitored by your doctor.

If necessary, Dolocatil can be used during pregnancy. You should use the lowest possible dose that reduces the pain or fever and use it for the shortest possible time. Contact your doctor if the pain or fever does not decrease or if you need to take the medicine more frequently.

Small amounts of paracetamol may appear in breast milk, so it is recommended that you consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine.
