    Caution is advised in the administration of paracetamol to patients with moderate or severe renal or severe hepatic impairment. The hazard of overdose is greater in those with moderate and severe liver disease.

    Prolonged use except under medical supervision may be harmful.

    Contraindications:

    Hypersensitivity to paracetamol or any of the other constituents.

    Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction:

    The speed of absorption of paracetamol may be increased by metoclopramide or domperidone and absorption reduced by cholestyramine.

    The anticoagulant effect of warfarin and other coumarins may be enhanced by prolonged regular daily use of paracetamol with increased risk of bleeding; occasional doses have no significant effect.

    Pregnancy & Lactation:

    There is epidemiological evidence of the safety of paracetarnol in human pregnancy. Paracetamol is mild analgesic of choice during pregnancy.

    However as with all drugs, caution should be exercised in its use during the first trimester.

    Lactation
