Precautions

This medication can place a burden on the liver, so individuals who regularly consume more than three alcoholic beverages per day should consult a physician or pharmacist before taking this medication or any other antipyretic analgesics. One of the ingredients in this medication, acetaminophen, can rarely cause serious skin allergic reactions; therefore, if any abnormal symptoms such as rash or itching appear after taking it, patients should immediately stop taking it and consult a professional. The maximum daily dose of acetaminophen is 4,000mg, so it is important to ensure that this dose is not exceeded when taking this medication, and it should not be taken in conjunction with other products containing acetaminophen. Individuals who are allergic to this medication or its ingredients, or those who have experienced asthma when taking antipyretics or cold medicines in the past, should not take it. This medication should not be administered to infants under 3 months of age, and children under 2 years of age should only use it when necessary and under the guidance of a physician. It is safest to avoid taking this medication concurrently with other antipyretics, cold medications, or sedatives. Children suspected of having chickenpox or influenza, people with allergic constitutions, those with liver, kidney, heart, or thyroid diseases, the elderly, pregnant or breastfeeding women, and those taking other medications should always consult a professional before taking it. If symptoms such as rash, itching, nausea, dizziness, or swelling occur, or if severe allergic reactions, skin disorders, asthma symptoms, or liver dysfunction symptoms appear, stop taking it immediately and consult a doctor or pharmacist. If symptoms do not improve after 5 to 6 doses, seek medical attention. This medication should be taken as directed, and long-term use should be avoided. Avoid alcohol while taking this medication, and be aware that certain medications can slow the metabolism of acetaminophen when taken together. Store in a place out of reach of children, in a cool, airtight container away from direct sunlight and moisture, and do not transfer to another container to maintain quality.
