Precautions

This medication may put a strain on the liver, so individuals who regularly consume more than three alcoholic beverages daily must consult a doctor or pharmacist before use. This medication contains acetaminophen, which may rarely cause serious skin reactions such as severe rashes or blisters. If any unusual symptoms appear on the skin after taking the medication, discontinue use immediately and consult a healthcare professional. Exceeding the maximum daily dose of acetaminophen can cause liver damage, so care must be taken to ensure that the total dosage of all acetaminophen products, including this medication, does not exceed 4,000 mg.

If symptoms such as rash, itching, nausea, dizziness, difficulty breathing, severe headache, or jaundice occur during usage, discontinue the medication immediately and consult a doctor or pharmacist. If symptoms do not improve after 5-6 doses, consult a healthcare professional. This medication is not to be used in children under 2 years old unless absolutely necessary, in which case a doctor's consultation must be sought. When taking this medication, be sure to follow the prescribed dosage and administration accurately, avoid prolonged use, abstain from alcohol, and be cautious as drowsiness may occur, avoiding driving or operating machinery if affected.
