Precautions

This medication can cause liver damage if taken by individuals who regularly consume more than three drinks a day, so it is essential to consult a doctor or pharmacist. This medicine contains acetaminophen, and taking it with other medications containing acetaminophen can lead to liver damage; therefore, do not take it with other acetaminophen products.

If you experience hives, swelling, chest tightness, high fever along with skin rashes or mucosal damage, or asthma symptoms while taking this medication, discontinue use immediately and consult a doctor or pharmacist. Caution should be exercised when taking this medication along with barbiturates, tricyclic antidepressants, or alcohol, as it can increase the risk of liver damage due to delayed breakdown of acetaminophen. Individuals with severe liver or kidney disease and those with a history of drug allergies should use this medication with caution. Side effects such as skin rashes, itching, blood in stools, gastrointestinal disturbances, drowsiness, and dizziness may rarely occur while taking this medication; if unusual symptoms appear, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
