Warnings and precautions

Do not take more than the recommended dose in section 3. How to take Dolocatil.

In patients with asthma sensitive to acetylsalicylic acid, consult a doctor before taking this medication.

If you have any liver, kidney, heart, or lung disease, or have anemia (decrease in hemoglobin levels in the blood, due or not due to a decrease in red blood cells), consult your doctor before taking this medication.

When undergoing treatment with any medication for epilepsy, consult a doctor before taking this medication, as when used together, the efficacy is reduced and the hepatotoxicity of paracetamol is potentiated, especially in high-dose paracetamol treatments.

In chronic alcoholics, be careful not to take more than 2 g/24 hours of paracetamol.

If the pain persists for more than 5 days, fever for more than 3 days, or the pain or fever worsen or other symptoms appear, consult a doctor and reevaluate the clinical situation.

In children under 15 years, consult your doctor or pharmacist as there are other presentations with doses adapted to this group of patients.

During treatment with Dolocatil, immediately inform your doctor if:

• You have severe diseases, such as severe renal insufficiency or sepsis (when bacteria and their toxins circulate in the blood, causing damage to organs), or if you have chronic malnutrition, chronic alcoholism, or are also taking flucloxacillin (an antibiotic). A severe disease called metabolic acidosis (a blood and fluid anomaly) has been reported in patients in these situations when using paracetamol at regular doses for a prolonged period or when taking paracetamol with flucloxacillin. Symptoms of metabolic acidosis may include: severe respiratory distress with deep and rapid breathing, somnolence, feeling unwell (nausea), and vomiting.

Other medications and Dolocatil:

• Medication to prevent blood clots: Oral anticoagulants (acenocoumarol, warfarin)
• Medications for treating epilepsy: Antiepileptics (lamotrigine, phenytoin, or other hydantoins, phenobarbital, methylphenobarbital, primidone, carbamazepine)

• Medications used to prevent nausea and vomiting: Metoclopramide and domperidone
• Medications used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias): Propranolol.
• Flucloxacillin (antibiotic), due to a severe risk of blood and fluid anomaly (called metabolic acidosis) that requires urgent treatment (see section 2).
