  • 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 malnutrition, chronic alcoholism, or if you are also taking flucloxacillin (an antibiotic). A serious disease called metabolic acidosis (an anomaly in the 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 respiratory distress with deep and rapid breathing, drowsiness, feeling of discomfort (nausea) and vomiting.

Children and Adolescents:

In children and adolescents under 15 years of age, consult your doctor or pharmacist, as there are other presentations with doses that are suitable for this group of patients.

Interference with Analytical Tests:

If you are going to undergo any analytical tests (including blood, urine, etc.), inform your doctor that you are taking this medication, as it may alter the results of these tests.

Do not use with other analgesics (pain-relieving medications) without consulting your doctor.

Taking Xumadol with Food, Drinks, and Alcohol

The use of paracetamol in patients who habitually consume alcohol (three or more alcoholic beverages per day) may cause liver damage.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or think you may be pregnant or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.

In case of necessity, Xumadol can be used during pregnancy. You should use the lowest possible dose that reduces pain or fever and use it for the shortest possible time. Contact your doctor or midwife if the pain or fever does not decrease or if you need to take the medication more frequently

Paracetamol passes into breast milk, so breastfeeding women should consult their doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.

Driving and Using Machines

The influence of paracetamol on the ability to drive and use machines is nil or insignificant.

Xumadolcontains aspartame. This medication contains 15 mg of aspartame in each sachet, equivalent to 9.38 mg/g. Aspartame contains a source of phenylalanine that may be harmful in case of phenylketonuria (PKU), a rare genetic disease in which phenylalanine accumulates because the body is unable to eliminate it correctly.

Xumadolcontains sodium. This medication contains 91.34 mg of sodium (main component of table salt/cooking salt) in each sachet. This is equivalent to 5% of the maximum recommended daily sodium intake for an adult.

3. How to Take Xumadol

Follow the administration instructions for this medication exactly as indicated by your doctor or pharmacist. If you have any doubts, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.

This medication is administered orally, dissolving the contents of the sachet in a glass of water. Do not take until the effervescence has completely stopped.

The recommended dose is:

  • Adults and adolescents over 15 years: 1 sachet every 4-6 hours, not exceeding 4 grams (4 sachets) of paracetamol in 24 hours.
  • Elderly patients should consult their doctor, as they may recommend a dose reduction.
  • In case of severe kidney failure, the interval between two doses will be at least 8 hours.

Always take the lowest possible dose required to relieve symptoms.

The intake of this medication is subject to the appearance of painful or febrile symptoms. As these symptoms disappear, the medication should be discontinued.

If the symptoms worsen or do not improve after 5 days, you should consult your doctor.

If you take more Xumadol than you should

You should consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately. In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, go immediately to a medical center or call the Toxicology Information Service, phone 91 562 04 20, indicating the medication and the amount ingested.

If you have ingested an overdose, you should go quickly to a medical center, even if you do not have symptoms, since they often do not appear until 3 days after ingestion of the overdose, even in cases of severe poisoning.

The symptoms of overdose may be: dizziness, vomiting, loss of appetite, yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice), and abdominal pain.

Treatment of the overdose is more effective if started within 4 hours after ingestion of the medication.

Patients undergoing treatment with barbiturates or chronic alcoholics may be more susceptible to the toxicity of a paracetamol overdose.
