1. What is Paramax Rapid and what is it used for

The medicine is used for elevated body temperature and symptomatic treatment of mild to moderate pain, such as headaches, toothaches, joint and muscle pain, menstrual pain, and neuralgia. If after 3-4 days there is no improvement or you feel worse, consult a doctor.

2. Important information before taking Paramax Rapid

  • if you have severe renal impairment;
  • if you have severe hepatic impairment;
  • in patients with alcoholic liver disease;
  • the medicine should not be taken simultaneously with MAO inhibitors (medicines used, among others, in the treatment of depression) and within 2 weeks after the end of treatment with these medicines. The medicine should not be taken in children under 12 years of age.

Warnings and precautions

Before starting treatment with Paramax Rapid, discuss it with your doctor:

  • if you have kidney disease;
  • if you have liver disease;
  • if you have a deficiency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD).

During treatment with Paramax Rapid, immediately inform your doctor:

  • if you have severe diseases, including severe kidney dysfunction or sepsis (when bacteria and their toxins circulate in the blood, leading to organ damage) or

malnutrition, chronic alcoholism, or when you are also taking flucloxacillin (an antibiotic). In these situations, patients have been reported to develop a severe disease called metabolic acidosis (a blood and fluid disorder), when they took paracetamol in regular doses for a longer period or when they took paracetamol with flucloxacillin. Symptoms of metabolic acidosis may include: severe breathing difficulties, including rapid deep breathing, drowsiness, feeling of nausea (nausea) and vomiting. The medicine contains paracetamol.Do not take other medicines containing paracetamol (including some medicines used to relieve symptoms of colds and flu) due to the risk of overdose and associated life-threatening liver damage. It is not recommended to use the medicine for a long time or frequently. Do not take a daily dose larger than recommended. In case of overdose, contact your doctor immediately, even if you feel well. See also section 3 "Taking a higher dose of Paramax Rapid than recommended". There is a special risk of liver damage in patients who are fasting and regularly drink alcohol. Do not drink alcohol during treatment with the medicine. When taking high doses of paracetamol (>4 g in adults) for more than 3 weeks, liver damage may occur even in people who have not been previously diagnosed with liver failure. Patients with moderate or severe liver or kidney impairment should be closely monitored by a doctor. Long-term use of paracetamol increases the risk of kidney damage.

Paramax Rapid with food and drink

The medicine can be taken during or outside of meals.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to have a child, consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking this medicine. Paramax Rapid can be given to pregnant women if it is clinically justified. Use the lowest possible dose that relieves pain or reduces fever and take the medicine for as short a time as possible. If the pain is not relieved or the fever does not subside, or if it is necessary to increase the frequency of taking the medicine, consult a doctor.

3. How to take Paramax Rapid

This medicine should always be taken exactly as described in the patient information leaflet or as directed by a doctor. In case of doubts, consult a doctor or pharmacist. The usual dose of Paramax Rapid: Adults and children over 12 years (with body weight over 40 kg) 1 or 2 tablets 1 to 3 times a day, not more often than every 4 hours. Do not take the medicine more than 4 times a day. Paramax Rapid should not be taken for more than 3 days without consulting a doctor. Patients with liver or kidney impairment: In patients with kidney or liver impairment, or Gilbert's syndrome, the dose of the medicine must be lower or the intervals between doses must be extended.

In case of taking a higher dose of the medicine than recommended, immediately consult a doctor, even if you feel well. If the overdose occurred no more than 1 hour ago, induce vomiting. Immediately consult a doctor, as specialized treatment in a hospital may be necessary. Accidental or intentional overdose of paracetamol may cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, excessive sweating, drowsiness, and general weakness within a few or several hours. These symptoms may subside the next day, despite the fact that life-threatening liver damage is developing, which will then manifest as abdominal distension, return of nausea, and jaundice.
