2. What you need to know before taking Paracetamol Pharmex

Do not take Paracetamol Pharmex:

- If you are allergic to paracetamol or any of the components of this medicine (listed in section 6).

Warnings and precautions

  • Do not take more medicine than recommended in section 3 of this package leaflet. The total dose of paracetamol should not exceed 3 grams per day.
  • Avoid taking this medicine simultaneously with other medicines that contain paracetamol, such as flu and cold medicines, as high doses of paracetamol can cause liver damage. Do not use more than one medicine that contains paracetamol without consulting your doctor. If an overdose occurs, seek medical attention immediately (see "If you take more than you should").

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take Paracetamol Pharmex.

  • If you have liver problems, including liver problems due to excessive alcohol consumption (3 or more alcoholic beverages per day); chronic alcoholics should be careful not to take more than 2 grams of paracetamol in 24 hours.
  • If you have kidney problems;
  • If you have a deficiency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase;
  • Other medicines and Paracetamol Pharmex);
  • Paracetamol can cause severe 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 severe skin reactions and should discontinue the use of the medicine at the first sign of skin rash or any other sign of hypersensitivity.

Taking higher-than-recommended doses of paracetamol implies a very high risk of liver damage.

Other medicines and Paracetamol Pharmex

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken or may need to take any other medicine.

This is especially important if you are using any of the following medicines, as it may be necessary to change the dose of some of them or interrupt treatment:

  • Medicines to prevent blood clot formation: oral anticoagulants (acenocoumarol, warfarin).
  • Medicines to treat epilepsy: antiepileptic medicines (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 reduce cholesterol levels in the blood: (cholestyramine)
  • Medicines 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 for the treatment of high blood pressure and cardiac arrhythmias: Propranolol.
  • Salicylamide, a medicine to treat fever and pain, can prolong the elimination half-life of paracetamol.
  • Flucloxacillin (antibiotic), due to a serious risk of alteration of blood and fluids (metabolic acidosis with high anion gap) that must be treated urgently and can occur particularly in cases of severe renal failure, sepsis (when bacteria and their toxins circulate in the blood, leading to organ damage), malnutrition, chronic alcoholism, and if maximum daily doses of paracetamol are used.

Interference with analytical tests:

If you need to undergo any laboratory tests (including blood, urine, etc.), inform your doctor that you are taking this medicine, as it may alter the results. Paracetamol can alter the values of analytical determinations of uric acid and glucose.

Taking Paracetamol Pharmex with food, drinks, and alcohol

Taking paracetamol in patients who habitually consume alcohol (3 or more alcoholic beverages: beer, wine, liquor, etc. per day) can cause liver damage.

Breastfeeding

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine.

Paracetamol passes into breast milk, so breastfeeding women should talk to their doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine.

Andrei Popov

General medicinePain medicine7 years of experience

Dr. Andrei Popov is a General Practitioner with specialized training in chronic pain. He provides online consultations for adult patients in Spain and other European countries.

Dr. Popov understands that seeking help with weight-related concerns or pain that has persisted for months can be difficult. Many patients come to him after trying different approaches without feeling truly heard. During the consultation, the doctor creates a comfortable and supportive, non-judgmental environment where the patient’s medical history can be discussed in detail, questions can be answered, and the next steps can be decided together.

Weight Management and Metabolic Health

Dr. Popov can help assess overweight, obesity, and related conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, or metabolic disorders. During the consultation, the patient’s medical history, test results, current medications, and previous treatments will be reviewed.

If you would like to learn about possible medication options or have already started treatment, the doctor can assess your situation, review the effectiveness and tolerability of the therapy, and clearly explain its benefits, potential risks, and alternatives.

Not every patient requires the same treatment. A consultation does not guarantee a prescription — it provides an objective medical assessment and a plan tailored to your individual situation.

Pain and General Medicine

You can also consult Dr. Popov regarding:

* chronic pain, migraines, neuralgia, and fibromyalgia;

* back, neck, lower back, or joint pain;

* hypertension, diabetes, and follow-up of chronic conditions;

* review of test results, medical reports, and current treatment;

* preventive medicine and a second medical opinion.

How the Consultation Works

The video consultation lasts up to 30 minutes. The doctor will listen carefully, review the information you provide, and explain the next steps in clear and understandable language.

If additional tests, an in-person consultation, or urgent medical care are required, the doctor will inform you directly.

Dr. Popov’s goal is to make sure the patient feels heard and leaves the consultation with a clear understanding of their condition and the next steps they can take.
