1. What is GEMIPAR 500 and what is it used for
GEMIPAR 500 are suppositories that contain paracetamol. Paracetamol has analgesic and antipyretic effects. The medicine is intended for adults and adolescents over 12 years of age.
Indications for use:
Short-term treatment of mild and moderate pain, e.g. headaches, toothaches, joint, muscle and bone pain, pain after surgical and dental procedures. Fever, e.g. in the course of a cold or flu in patients who cannot take paracetamol orally, e.g. due to nausea or vomiting.
2. Before using GEMIPAR 500.
Do not use the medicine if:there is hypersensitivity to any component of the medicine, severe renal impairment, severe liver impairment, congenital lack of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and methemoglobin reductase, alcoholism, first trimester of pregnancy.
Use GEMIPAR 500 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 impairment. During paracetamol treatment, do not consume alcohol due to the risk of severe liver damage.
Particular risk of liver damage exists in malnourished individuals and those who regularly consume alcohol.
Using the medicine GEMIPAR 500 in children:
Do not use in children under 12 years of age.
Pregnancy. Breast-feeding:
The medicine is contraindicated in the first three months of pregnancy. Paracetamol may be used in the second and third trimester of pregnancy and during breastfeeding in case of urgent need and after consulting a doctor.
Before using any medicine, consult a doctor.
Driving and operating machinery:
The medicine does not affect psychophysical abilities.
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 doses of paracetamol. 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 due to liver cell necrosis. Using paracetamol may cause false results in some laboratory tests (e.g. glucose concentration measurement). Do not use with other medicines containing paracetamol.
Inform the doctor about all medicines taken recently, even those available without a prescription.
