  • Do not take more medicine than recommended in section 3. How to take Paracetamol Viatris.
  • The simultaneous use of this medicine with other medicines containing paracetamol, such as flu and cold medicines, should be avoided, as high doses can cause liver damage. Do not use more than one medicine containing paracetamol without consulting your doctor.

  • Patient with kidney, liver, heart, or lung disease, and patients with anemia, should consult their doctor before taking this medicine.

  • Asthmatic patients sensitive to acetylsalicylic acid should consult their doctor before taking this medicine.

During treatment with paracetamol, inform your doctor immediately if:

If you have severe illnesses, such as severe renal insufficiency or sepsis (when bacteria and their toxins circulate in the blood, causing damage to organs), or if you suffer from malnutrition, chronic alcoholism, or are also taking flucloxacillin (an antibiotic). A serious disease called metabolic acidosis (an anomaly in blood and fluids) has been reported in patients in these situations when paracetamol is used at regular doses for a prolonged period or when paracetamol is taken with flucloxacillin. The symptoms of metabolic acidosis may include: severe breathing difficulties with deep and rapid breathing, drowsiness, feeling unwell (nausea) and vomiting.
