- The simultaneous use of this medication with other medications that contain paracetamol, such as flu and cold medications, should be avoided, as high doses can lead to liver damage. Do not use more than one medication that contains paracetamol without consulting your doctor.
- Chronic alcoholics should be cautious not to take more than 2 g/24 hours of paracetamol.
- Patient with kidney, liver, heart, or lung disease and patients with anemia (decrease in hemoglobin levels in the blood, due to or not due to a decrease in red blood cells), or those patients who suffer from chronic malnutrition or dehydration, should consult their doctor before taking this medication.
- When being treated with medication for epilepsy, consult your doctor before taking this medication, as the efficacy of paracetamol is decreased and hepatotoxicity is increased, especially in high-dose paracetamol treatments.
- Asthmatic patients sensitive to acetylsalicylic acid should consult their doctor before taking this medication.
During treatment with Dolostop, immediately inform your doctor 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 suffer from malnutrition, chronic alcoholism, or are also taking flucloxacillin (an antibiotic). A severe 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 of discomfort (nausea) and vomiting.
Children and adolescents
In children and adolescents under 15 years of age, consult your doctor or pharmacist, as there may be other presentations available with doses that adapt to these patients.
