Warnings

If the fever persists for more than three days or if the symptoms are accompanied by high fever, rash, excessive mucus and persistent cough, consult your doctor before continuing administration. During treatment, make sure that no other medicine containing paracetamol is taken at the same time, as it may cause serious side effects. If paracetamol is taken in high doses, serious adverse reactions may occur.

High doses of paracetamol can cause high-risk liver disease and even serious kidney and blood disorders. In case of acute hypersensitivity reactions to paracetamol (e.g. anaphylactic shock), treatment must be stopped and the necessary medical measures must be implemented based on the signs and symptoms.

At common therapeutic doses of chlorphenamine maleate, antihistamines present side reactions that vary greatly from person to person. The most frequent side effect is sedation, which can manifest itself as drowsiness; this is due to the presence of sedation in the blood. Those who may drive motor vehicles or perform operations requiring complete vigilance must be warned.

Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) should be used with caution by subjects who suffer, or have suffered in the past, from nephrolithiasis (kidney stones) and by those affected by G6PD (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) deficiency, hemochromatosis, thalassemia, or sideroblastic anemia.

Administer with caution to subjects with renal or hepatic insufficiency and to the elderly. Elderly patients are particularly sensitive to the anticholinergic side effects of antihistamines, such as dry mouth and urinary retention (especially in men).
