Patient with liver, kidney, heart, or lung disease, and patients with anemia should consult their doctor before taking this medication.
- The simultaneous use of this medication with other medications containing paracetamol, such as flu and cold medications, should be avoided, as high doses can lead to liver damage. Do not use more than one medication containing paracetamol without consulting your doctor.
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.
Chronic alcoholics should be cautious not to take more than 3 tablets of 650 mg of paracetamol in 24 hours.
- During treatment with paracetamol, immediately inform your doctor if:
- If you have severe diseases, such as severe renal failure or sepsis (when bacteria and their toxins circulate in the blood, causing organ damage), or if you suffer from 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 unwell (nausea) and vomiting.

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