This medication can put stress on the liver, so those who regularly consume more than three cups of alcohol a day should consult a doctor or pharmacist before taking it. If any unusual reactions such as skin rash, itching, or blisters occur while taking this medication, stop immediately and consult a professional. Since it contains acetaminophen, care should be taken not to exceed the maximum dosage of 4,000mg per day, and it should not be taken with other products containing acetaminophen. Additionally, this medication should not be taken by individuals who are allergic to it or have peptic ulcers, severe blood disorders, liver dysfunction, kidney dysfunction, or impaired heart function.
