• If you have chronic alcoholism, you should be careful not to take more than 2 g/day of paracetamol (maximum 6 tablets per day).

• If you have anemia or any heart or lung disease.
• If you are asthmatic and sensitive to acetylsalicylic acid.

Inform your doctor immediately if you have severe diseases, such as severe kidney failure 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.
