- In patients with asthma who are sensitive to acetylsalicylic acid, consult your doctor before taking this medication.

- If you have any liver, kidney, heart, or lung disease, or 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 taking medication for epilepsy, consult your doctor before taking this medication, as when used together, the efficacy is decreased and the hepatotoxicity of paracetamol is increased, especially in high-dose paracetamol treatments.

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

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

- In adolescents under 16 years, consult your doctor or pharmacist as there are other presentations with doses that are adapted to this group of patients.

-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 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 difficulty with deep and rapid breathing, drowsiness, feeling unwell (nausea) and vomiting.
