- 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 if you 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.

Use of other medicines
Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are using or have recently used other medicines, including those obtained without a prescription.
This medicine contains paracetamol, and this should be taken into account if other medicines containing paracetamol are used to avoid exceeding the recommended daily dose. (See the next section).
In concomitant treatment with Probenecid (a medicine used to treat gout), a reduction in dose should be considered.
The concomitant use of paracetamol (4 g per day for at least 4 days) with oral anticoagulants may produce slight variations in INR (prothrombin time) values. In this case, INR values should be monitored both during administration and after its interruption.
Salicylamide may prolong the elimination half-life of paracetamol.
Attention should be paid to the simultaneous intake of enzyme-inducing substances.
Flucloxacillin (antibiotic), due to a serious risk of blood and fluid anomaly (called metabolic acidosis) that requires urgent treatment (see section 2).
