Paracetamol may increase the toxicity of chloramphenicol.

Barbiturates may potentiate the toxicity of paracetamol.

In cases of anticoagulant oral treatments, paracetamol can be administered occasionally as the preferred analgesic.

In particular, if you are using medications that contain any of the following active principles, it may be necessary to modify the dose or discontinue treatment of any of them:

• Oral anticoagulants (acenocoumarol, warfarin).
• Anticonvulsants (lamotrigine, phenytoin, phenobarbital, methylphenobarbital, primidone).
• Antituberculars (isoniazid, rifampicin).
• Colestiramine (used to reduce blood cholesterol levels).
• Medications used to treat gout (antigout) (probencid).
• Some diuretics of the loop type, such as those in the furosemide group.
• Metoclopramide and domperidone (used to prevent nausea and vomiting).
• Propranolol used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and cardiac arrhythmias.
• Flucloxacillin (antibiotic), due to a severe risk of blood and fluid imbalance (denominated metabolic acidosis with high anionic imbalance) that must be treated urgently (see section 2).

Inform your doctor that you are taking this medication, as it may alter the results of these tests.

Use of Dolostop Pediatric with foods, beverages, and alcohol

This medication can be taken with or without food and administered directly or diluted with water, milk, or fruit juice.

Pregnancy, lactation, and fertility

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

Oral paracetamol does not produce undesirable effects in the pregnant woman, the fetus, or the newborn. Reproduction studies do not show malformations or toxic effects. If necessary, paracetamol can 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 pain or fever do not decrease or if you need to take the medication more frequently.

Paracetamol passes into breast milk, although there have been no reports of adverse effects in children. Therefore, it can be used in women breastfeeding if the recommended dose is not exceeded. Be cautious in cases of prolonged use.

It may reduce your ability to drive or operate machinery, as it contains propylene glycol, which can cause symptoms similar to those of alcohol.

The dosing of the solution is performed in ml (100 mg/ml), using the oral syringe of 2 or 5 ml.

Use in children

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

Children from 0 to 10 years:

The recommended daily dose of paracetamol is 60 mg/kg/day, that is, 10 mg/kg every 4 hours (up to 6 doses/day) or 15 mg/kg every 6 hours (up to 4 doses in 24 hours). In children under 1 year, doses of 10 mg/kg are preferred.

To administer 10 mg/kg with a minimum interval of 4 hours, the recommended schedule is as follows:

To perform a direct calculation, you can also multiply the child's weight in kg by 0.10. The result is the ml of solution to administer.

These doses can be repeated every 4 hours.

Alternatively, doses of 15 mg/kg with a minimum interval of 6 hours can be administered. In this case, for a direct calculation, you can multiply the child's weight in kg by 0.15. The result is the ml of solution to administer.

The administration of the preparation is subject to the appearance of painful or febrile symptoms. As these symptoms disappear, discontinue this medication.

If you estimate that the action of this medication is too strong or too weak, inform your doctor or pharmacist.

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