Warnings and precautions

• In patients with liver, kidney, heart, or lung diseases and in patients with anemia (decrease in hemoglobin levels in the blood, due or not due to a decrease in red blood cells), consult your doctor before taking the 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 suffer from 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.

However, as a general rule, it is not recommended to use this medication during the first trimester of pregnancy, in case of need, Antidol Infantil may be used during pregnancy. Use the lowest possible dose that reduces pain or fever and use it for the shortest possible time. Contact your doctor if the pain or fever do not decrease or if you need to take the medication more frequently. Paracetamol passes into breast milk, so women in the lactation period must consult their doctor before using this medication.

It is intended for short-term use in children between 3 and 32 kg (approximately 0 to 10 years old).

Use in children

In children under 2 years, the dose must always be established by your doctor.

The paracetamol dose depends on the child's weight, the approximate age is for informational purposes only. The recommended daily dose of paracetamol is approximately 60 mg/kg/day, which is divided into 4 or 6 daily doses, that is15 mg/kg every 6 hours or 10 mg/kg every 4 hours.

The dosing of the solution is performed in milliliters (ml) (100 mg/ml) using the oral syringe of 5 ml included in the packaging.

For the administration of15 mg/kg every 6 hours, the schedule is as follows:

To make a direct calculation, the child's weight in kg can also be multiplied by 0.15; the result is the ml to administer of the medication.

These doses can be repeated every 6 hours.

If the desired effects are not obtained 3-4 hours after administration, the dose can be advanced every 4 hours, in which case 10 mg/kg will be administered.

Paracetamol administration is subject to the appearance of painful or feverish symptoms. As these symptoms disappear, this medication should be discontinued.

2.- Insert the oral syringe, pressing on the cap's perforation.

3.- Invert the bottle and remove the necessary dose.

If taking more Antidol Infantil than prescribed

If you have taken more paracetamol than you should, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately or call the Toxicological Information Service, phone 91 562 04 20, indicating the medication and the amount used. It is recommended to bring the packaging and the medication leaflet to the healthcare professional.

If you have ingested an overdose, you must go to a medical center immediately, even if there are no symptoms, as they often do not appear until 3 days after ingestion of the overdose, even in cases of severe poisoning. The symptoms of an overdose can be: dizziness, vomiting, loss of appetite, yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice), and abdominal pain.

An overdose of paracetamol is considered to be the ingestion of a single dose of more than 6 g in adults and more than 100 mg per kg of weight in children. The treatment of an overdose is more effective if it is initiated within 4 hours of ingestion of the medication.

In cases where the patient is being treated with barbiturates or suffers from chronic alcoholism, they may be more susceptible to a paracetamol overdose.

Generally, symptomatic treatment will be performed.
