- you have Gilbert's syndrome (mild jaundice)
- you have hemolytic anemia (abnormal decrease in red blood cells)

Other important information
Do not drink alcohol while taking this medication (e.g., wine, beer, or liquor).
This medication should not be used in patients who weigh less than 50 kg.
If you are an alcoholic or have liver damage, do not take paracetamol unless prescribed by your doctor. If this applies to you, do not take these tablets with alcohol. If you are using other pain medication that contains paracetamol, do not take these tablets without first consulting your doctor or pharmacist.
Never take more tablets of Paracetamol than recommended. A higher dose will not relieve pain more, but may cause serious liver damage. Symptoms of liver damage appear after a few days. It is therefore important to see your doctor immediately if you have taken more tablets of paracetamol than recommended.
Children and Adolescents
This medication should not be used in children, adolescents under 16 years of age, or those weighing less than 50 kg.
Use of Other Medications and Paracetamol Effervescent Tablets
Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are using or have recently used other medications, including those obtained without a prescription.

- medications to thin the blood (anticoagulants, e.g., warfarin, other coumarins)
- medications to relieve nausea (e.g., metoclopramide, domperidone)
- medications to treat high cholesterol (cholestyramine)
- probenecid (medications to treat high uric acid levels in the blood, gout)

- medications to treat epilepsy (lamotrigine)
- medications to treat tuberculosis (isoniazid)
- flucloxacillin (antibiotic), due to a serious risk of blood and fluid alteration (metabolic acidosis with high anion gap) that must be treated urgently and may occur particularly in cases of severe kidney failure, sepsis (when bacteria and their toxins circulate in the blood, leading to organ damage), malnutrition, chronic alcoholism, and if the maximum daily doses of paracetamol are used
Paracetamol may prolong the duration of action of chloramphenicol.
Interference with Analytical Tests
Uric acid and blood sugar tests may be altered.
Taking Paracetamol Cipla with Food and Drinks
Taking this medication with food does not affect its absorption.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
If necessary, Paracetamol Cipla Effervescent Tablets can be used during pregnancy. You should take the minimum possible dose to reduce pain or fever and use it for the shortest possible time. Talk to your doctor if the pain does not subside or if you need to take the medication more frequently.
