How to use Gemipar 50
1. What is GEMIPAR 50 and what is it used for
GEMIPAR 50 are suppositories that contain paracetamol. Paracetamol has analgesic and antipyretic effects. The medicine is intended for infants.
Indications for use:
Short-term treatment of mild to moderate pain, e.g. pain associated with teething.
Fever, e.g. in the course of childhood diseases in patients who cannot take paracetamol orally, e.g. due to nausea or vomiting.
2. Before using GEMIPAR 50
Do not use the medicine if:there is hypersensitivity to any component of the medicine, severe renal failure, severe liver failure, congenital lack of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and methemoglobin reductase, alcoholism, first trimester of pregnancy.
Use GEMIPAR 50 with caution
The medicine contains paracetamol. To avoid overdose, check if other medicines being taken do not contain paracetamol. Do not use doses higher than recommended. Use with caution in elderly patients. Use with caution in patients with liver or kidney failure.
During paracetamol treatment, do not consume alcohol due to the risk of severe liver damage. Particular risk of liver damage exists in starving people and those who regularly drink alcohol.
Using the medicine GEMIPAR 50 in children:
The medicine is indicated for infants from 3 to 12 months.
Pregnancy. Breast-feeding:
The medicine is intended for use in infants due to the dose.

Using other medicines
Paracetamol enhances the effect of oral anticoagulant medicines from the coumarin group, prolonging bleeding time and increasing the risk of bleeding. Using 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 recommended paracetamol doses. Paracetamol prolongs the half-life of chloramphenicol and increases its toxicity. Concurrent administration of paracetamol and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines increases the risk of kidney function disorders. Using 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 caused by liver cell necrosis. Using paracetamol may be the cause of false results of some laboratory tests (e.g. glucose concentration measurement). Do not use with other medicines containing paracetamol.
Inform your doctor about all medicines taken recently, even those available without a prescription.
