Using other medicines
Paracetamol enhances the effect of oral anticoagulant medicines from the coumarin group, prolonging bleeding time and increasing the risk of bleeding. The use of paracetamol with zidovudine (AZT) may enhance the toxic effect of zidovudine on the bone marrow. Concurrent use of paracetamol and medicines that increase liver metabolism, e.g. rifampicin, antiepileptic medicines, barbiturates, increases the risk of liver damage, even when using the recommended doses of paracetamol. Paracetamol prolongs the half-life of chloramphenicol and increases its toxicity. Simultaneous administration of paracetamol and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines increases the risk of kidney function disorders. The use of paracetamol with MAO inhibitors may cause excitement and high fever (a 14-day interval should be maintained). Metoclopramide accelerates, and propanteline delays the absorption of paracetamol from the gastrointestinal tract. Consuming alcohol during paracetamol treatment may lead to liver failure due to liver cell necrosis. The use of paracetamol may be the cause of false results of some laboratory tests (e.g. glucose concentration determination). Do not use with other medicines containing paracetamol.
Inform your doctor about all medicines taken recently, even those available without a prescription.
