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.

  • 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 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
