• If you have anorexia, bulimia, cachexia, or chronic malnutrition;
• If you suffer from dehydration or hypovolemia.
• If you are taking a medication to treat epilepsy, consult your doctor before taking this medication, as when used together, the efficacy is reduced and the hepatotoxicity of paracetamol is increased, especially in treatments with high doses of paracetamol (see more below in section Other medications and Antidol).
• If you have Gilbert's disease (also known as Meulengracht's disease).
• If you have heart, respiratory, or anemia insufficiency; in these situations, administration should be carried out under surveillance and only for short periods.
• If you have asthma and are sensitive to acetylsalicylic acid.
• Paracetamol can cause severe skin reactions, such asacute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (PEAG), Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN), which can be fatal. Patients should be informed about the signs of severe skin reactions, and the use of the medication should be interrupted at the first sign of skin eruption or any other sign of hypersensitivity.
• The total dose of paracetamol should not exceed 3 g per day.
• The simultaneous use of this medication with other medications containing paracetamol, such as cold and flu medications, should be avoided, as high doses can cause liver damage. Do not use more than one medication containing paracetamol without consulting your doctor. If an overdose occurs, seek medical attention immediately (see "If you take more Antidol than you should").
• If you have kidney problems, due to the 1 g paracetamol content, you cannot take this medication. Those with liver, heart, or lung diseases, and patients with anemia, 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 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.

The administration of paracetamol doses higher than recommended involves a very high risk of severe liver damage.

Medications containing paracetamol should not be taken for more than a few days or at high doses unless indicated by your doctor. If the pain persists for more than 5 days, fever for more than 3 days, or if the pain or fever worsen or other symptoms appear, discontinue treatment and consult your doctor.
