Paracetamol-based products are contraindicated in patients with manifest glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency and in those with severe hemolytic anemia. Severe hepatocellular insufficiency.

Precautions for use

During treatment with paracetamol, before taking any other medication, check that it does not contain the same active ingredient, since if paracetamol is taken in high doses, serious adverse reactions can occur, including severe liver disease and alterations to the kidneys and blood. Furthermore, before combining any other medication, contact your doctor. Do not administer for more than 3 consecutive days without consulting your doctor. The use of the product is not recommended if the patient is being treated with anti-inflammatory drugs.

Interactions

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you have recently taken any other medicines, even those obtained without a prescription. The hepatotoxic effect of paracetamol may be potentiated by the intake of other drugs that affect the liver. Patients being treated with rifampicin, cimetidine, or antiepileptic drugs such as glutethimide, phenobarbital, or carbamazepine should use paracetamol with extreme caution and only under strict medical supervision. Paracetamol increases the half-life of chloramphenicol. Paracetamol taken in high doses can potentiate the effect of coumarin anticoagulants. Phenylephrine can reduce the effectiveness of beta-blockers and antihypertensives and can potentiate the action of monoamine oxidase inhibitors. Paracetamol administration may interfere with the determination of uric acid levels (using the phosphotungstic acid method) and blood glucose levels (using the glucose-oxidase-peroxidase method).

Side effects

Like all medicines, Tachifludec can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Skin reactions of various types and severity have been reported with the use of paracetamol, including cases of erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and epidermal necrolysis. Hypersensitivity reactions such as angioedema, laryngeal edema, and anaphylactic shock have been reported. The following side effects have also been reported: thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, anemia, agranulocytosis, liver function abnormalities and hepatitis, renal disorders (acute renal failure, interstitial nephritis, hematuria, anuria), gastrointestinal reactions, and dizziness. Sympathomimetics (phenylephrine) may occasionally cause skin irritation, tachycardia, hypertension, and, much more rarely, nausea, vomiting, or anorexia. Following the instructions in the package leaflet reduces the risk of side effects.
