  • If you regularly consume excessive alcohol. In chronic alcoholics, you should not take more than 2 grams of paracetamol in 24 hours.
  • If you are being treated with medication for epilepsy, consult your doctor before taking this medicine, as the efficacy of paracetamol may be reduced and hepatotoxicity increased, especially with high doses of paracetamol.
  • If you are taking other medicines that contain paracetamol, as this may cause liver damage.
  • If you are asthmatic and sensitive to acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin).

Do not use paracetamol habitually for a long time, as prolonged exposure can cause liver damage. Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you intend to take paracetamol for an extended period.

Do not use paracetamol without talking to your doctor if you have alcohol problems or liver problems. Do not use Paracetamol Pensa Pharma with alcohol. The effect of alcohol is not increased by taking Paracetamol Pensa Pharma.

Do not take more paracetamol than recommended in section 3 of this leaflet. Higher doses do not increase the pain-reducing effect but may cause serious liver damage. Symptoms of liver damage usually appear after a few days. Therefore, it is essential to contact your doctor as soon as possible if you have taken more than the recommended dose.

Children and adolescents

Do not use in children and adolescents under 18 years of age.
