This medication contains paracetamol. Paracetamol is effective in reducing pain and fever.

It is used for the relief of occasional mild or moderate pain, such as headache, toothache, muscle pain (muscle spasms) or back pain (lumbago), as well as in febrile states in adults and children with a body weight of more than 33 kg (approximately 10-12 years old).

Do not take Antidol

• If you are allergic to paracetamol or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before starting to take Antidol.

• Do not take more of the medication than recommended in section 3, Taking Antidol.
• Avoid using this medication with other medications that contain paracetamol, such as cold and flu medications, as high doses may cause liver damage. Do not use more than one medication that contains paracetamol without consulting your doctor.

• Chronic alcoholics should be careful not to take more than 2 g/24 hours of paracetamol.
• Patients with kidney, liver, heart, or lung diseases, or patients with anemia (decreased hemoglobin levels in the blood, due or not due to a decrease in red blood cells), or patients with chronic malnutrition or dehydration, should consult their doctor before taking this medication.
• When taking medication for epilepsy, consult your doctor before taking this medication, as it may reduce the effectiveness and increase the hepatotoxicity of paracetamol, especially with high doses of paracetamol.
• Patients with asthma sensitive to acetylsalicylic acid should consult their doctor before taking this medication.
• 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, 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 distress with deep and rapid breathing, drowsiness, feeling unwell (nausea), and vomiting.

Children

Consult your doctor or pharmacist for children under 10-12 years, as there may be other presentations available with doses adapted to these patients.

Other medications and Antidol

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, have used recently, or may need to use any other medication.

Particularly, if you are using some of the following medications, as it may be necessary to modify the dose of some of them or interrupt treatment:

• Medications to prevent blood clots: Oral anticoagulants (acenocoumarol, warfarin).
• Medications to treat epilepsy: Antiepileptic drugs (lamotrigine, phenytoin, or other hydantoins, phenobarbital, methylphenobarbital, primidone, carbamazepine).

• Medications used to treat high blood pressure and heart rhythm disorders (arhythmias): Propranolol.

Also inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking:

• Flucloxacillin (antibiotic), due to a serious risk of blood and fluid imbalance (metabolic acidosis with high anion gap) that must be treated urgently (see section 2).

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

As a general rule for any medication, it is recommended to inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking another medication. In the case of oral anticoagulants, it may be possible to administer Antidol occasionally as the preferred analgesic.
