Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take this medication.

  • Do not take more than the recommended dose in section 3. How to take Efferaldol.
  • Avoid taking this medication simultaneously with other medications that contain paracetamol, such as flu and cold medications, 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 of paracetamol in 24 hours.
  • Patient with kidney, liver, heart, or lung disease, and patients with anemia, 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 may be decreased and hepatotoxicity increased, especially with high doses of paracetamol.
  • Asthmatic patients sensitive to acetylsalicylic acid should consult their doctor before taking this medication.

During treatment with Efferaldol, inform your doctor immediately if:

  • You have severe illnesses, 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 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 breathing difficulties with deep and rapid breathing, drowsiness, feeling of discomfort (nausea), and vomiting.

Children and Adolescents

Do not use in children under 18 years of age.

Other Medications and Efferaldol

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or may need to take any other medication.

In particular, if you are using any of the following medications, it may be necessary to modify the dose of some of them or interrupt treatment:

  • Medication to prevent blood clots: Oral anticoagulants (acenocoumarol, warfarin)
  • Medications for treating epilepsy: Antiepileptics (lamotrigine, phenytoin, or other hydantoins, phenobarbital, methylphenobarbital, primidone, carbamazepine)

  • Medications used to prevent nausea and vomiting: Metoclopramide and domperidone
  • Medications used to treat high blood pressure and heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias): Propranolol.

Do not use with other pain relievers (medications that reduce pain) without consulting your doctor.

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking:

Flucloxacillin (antibiotic), due to a serious risk of alteration of blood and fluids (called metabolic acidosis with high anion imbalance) that must be treated urgently (see section 2).

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

Interference with Analytical Tests:

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

Taking Efferaldol with Food, Drinks, and Alcohol:

The use of paracetamol in patients who habitually consume alcohol (3 or more alcoholic beverages per day: beer, wine, liquor) may cause liver damage.

Pregnancy, Breastfeeding, and Fertility

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

The tablets can be swallowed directly or broken in half, with the help of a glass of liquid, preferably water.

The score line is only for breaking the tablet if you find it difficult to swallow it whole.

High daily doses of paracetamol should be avoided during prolonged periods, as the risk of side effects such as liver damage increases.

The administration of this medication is subject to the appearance of pain or fever. As they disappear, treatment should be discontinued.

Consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately. In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, go immediately to a medical center or call the Toxicology Information Service (telephone 91 562 04 20), indicating the medication and the amount ingested.

The symptoms of overdose may be: dizziness, vomiting, loss of appetite, yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice), and abdominal pain.

If you have ingested an overdose, you should go immediately to a medical center, even if you do not notice symptoms, as they often do not appear until 3 days after ingestion, even in cases of severe poisoning.

Treatment of overdose is most effective if started within 4 hours of ingestion of the medication.

Patient being treated with barbiturates or suffering from chronic alcoholism may be more susceptible to the toxicity of a paracetamol overdose.

If You Forget to Take Efferaldol

Do not take a double dose to make up for forgotten doses; simply take the forgotten dose when you remember, taking the next doses with the indicated interval in each case.
